Bodo/Glimt will get their UEFA Champions League qualifying campaign underway at home against KI on Wednesday.
The hosts took part in the first round qualification fixtures last season as well but failed to qualify for the group stage. They qualified for the UEFA Europa Conference League finals, losing to eventual champions AS Roma in the quarterfinals.
KI, meanwhile, have never qualified for the Champions League group stage and will hope to kick off their campaign on a positive note.
Bodo/Glimt saw their four-game winning streak come to an end in a 3-2 defeat against Odd in the Eliteserien. KI, meanwhile, are on a four-game winning streak in the Faroe Islands Premier League.
