Legia vs Bodo/Glimt

Legia will be looking to capitalize on a 3-2 first-leg triumph when they take on Bodo/Glimt at theStadion Wojska Polskiego in the return leg of their Champions League qualifying tie.

Following back-to-back friendlies without a victory (D1, L1), Legia have pieced together a three-game winning streak, returning a +4 goal difference from that run (GF:8, GA:4). Curiously, before claiming a 3-2 first-leg win over Bodo, Legia had gone seven consecutive competitive matches without conceding, highlighting the potential to preserve a narrow lead. By extension, the hosts have gone unbeaten in 12 games in all competitions (W8, D4) since going down 2-1 to Piast Gliwice in the domestic cup back in early March. But entertainment has been sparse at the Stadion Wojska Polskiego lately, with each of Legia’s last three competitive fixtures here seeing one or both teams fail to trouble the scoreboard in games garnering under 1.5 total goals (W1, D2).

On the other hand, the visitors approach this encounter amid a rough patch, having gone winless in their last three competitive matches in a row (D1, L2) since a 4-1 home thumping of domestic rivals Stabaek in late June. Bodo/Glimt’s defensive woes remain a massive reason for concern, as they head into proceedings having failed to keep a clean sheet in seven straight games in all competitions, conceding 2+ goals four times in the process. Action-packed football has been at a premium in Bodo’s recent road trips, with each of their last three competitive away fixtures featuring under 2.5 total goals and two of them producing a goalless half-time score (D1, L2). Worryingly, goal-shy Bodo drew a blank twice during that three-game sequence.
