More markets for the UEFA Champions League game, scheduled for August 19 at 3:00 PM ET.
NEC Nijmegen host FK Bodø/Glimt in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League play-off tie on August 19, with the return in Norway six days later. NEC advanced by overturning a deficit against Olympiacos, winning the second leg 2-1 after extra time following a goalless first leg, giving them momentum despite a recent 1-2 Eredivisie loss to Telstar. Bodø/Glimt lead the Norwegian Eliteserien with strong recent results, including six straight league wins before the summer break, though they face absences for Håkon Evjen and August Mikkelsen. The Norwegian side brings greater European pedigree and home advantage in the decider, while NEC will lean on home support at Stadion De Goffert and squad freshness from their domestic schedule. Trader focus centers on aggregate qualification, with Bodø/Glimt viewed as favorites given their consistency in high-stakes ties and attacking output.
