Bodo/Glimt invite Celtic to the Aspmyra Stadion in the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League knockout round playoffs on Thursday.
The hosts secured a 3-1 win in the first leg to shock Celtic at Celtic Park last week and have the upper hand heading into the second leg tie. They have also had a week's rest ahead of this game and will be looking to making it count.
Celtic maintained their top spot in the Scottish Premiership as they secured a 3-2 win over Dundee FC on Sunday. Giorgos Giakoumakis bagged a hat-trick and will be hoping to continue his form into the second leg fixture.

Bodo/Glimt vs Celtic Prediction
The hosts are unbeaten in their Europa Conference League campaign so far. Their 6-1 win over Roma at home was one of their best performances of the season and they will be hoping for a similar outing here.
It is unlikely that they'll suffer a defeat here but Celtic are not expected to give up without a fight. They have been in incredible form in the league and just need to channel that in the continental competition.
Taking the form of both sides into consideration, a low-scoring draw seems to be the likely outcome here.
Prediction: Bodo/Glimt 1-1 Celtic
