AZ Alkmaar and Bodo / Glimt will square off at the AFAS Stadion in the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League round-of-16 tie.
The visitors hold a narrow advantage in the tie, having secured a 2-1 victory in Norway last week. Ola Solbakken's injury-time penalty helped Glimt secure a win in front of their own fans.

They will be looking to overturn their continental deficit as they seek qualification for their first European quarterfinal since 2014.
