Europa League Match Preview: Nice vs. Bodo Glimt - Lineups

Nice will be looking to capitalize on their recent success as they prepare to face Bodo Glimt in the Europa League round of 16. Fresh off a convincing 2-0 victory against their domestic rivals, Olympique Marseille, Nice is eager to carry that momentum into this upcoming match. However, the stakes are somewhat diminished for Les Aiglons, as they have already missed out on a chance to advance to the knockout stages of the tournament. This situation leaves them with limited motivation for the clash on Thursday, but they will undoubtedly aim to put on a strong performance in front of their home fans.

In terms of squad availability, Nice will be without several key players due to injuries. Notable absentees include the likes of Jeremie Boga, Terem Moffi, and the experienced players Orakpo and Sanson. Their absence will undoubtedly be felt, as these players have been integral to the team's performance this season. However, there is a silver lining for Nice, as Canadian defender Moise Bombito is expected to make a return to the starting lineup, potentially bolstering their defensive capabilities. Additionally, Moroccan forward Sofiane Diop is back in contention after serving a suspension in Ligue 1, which could provide a much-needed boost to their attacking options.

On the other side of the pitch, Bodo Glimt arrives with a sense of confidence, having secured back-to-back victories against formidable opponents, Besiktas and Maccabi Tel Aviv. The Norwegian champions are keen to continue their winning streak and are eyeing a place in the top eight of the competition. However, they face a challenging task, as Nice has proven to be a tough opponent, especially when playing at home. Given the circumstances, betting on a draw could be a prudent choice, as both teams will be looking to assert themselves while also being cautious not to concede.

One player to keep an eye on for Bodo Glimt is Kasper Hogh, who has been in fine form recently. He made headlines by scoring a brace in the team's recent victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv, showcasing his ability to find the back of the net when it matters most. However, Bodo will also be dealing with their own injury concerns, as key players such as Bassi, Skeide, and Vetti will be sidelined for this match. Their absence could impact the team's overall performance, but Bodo Glimt has shown resilience and depth in their squad, which may help them navigate these challenges.

As the match approaches, both teams will be strategizing and preparing for what promises to be an intriguing encounter. Nice will be looking to end their Europa League campaign on a high note, while Bodo Glimt aims to solidify their position and continue their pursuit of success in the tournament. Fans can expect an exciting clash filled with intensity, skill, and the unpredictable nature of knockout football.
