Zorya Luhansk vs Bodo/Glimt prediction, preview, team news and more

Zorya Luhansk host Bodo/Glimt at the Slavutych-Arena on Thursday in their final group stage encounter of the Europa Conference League.

With only six points from five games, the Muzhyky have already been eliminated from the competition.

They trail Bodo/Glimt by five points and AS Roma by four, but Viktor Skrypnyk's side will be hoping to bow out on a high.

Bodo/Glimt, meanwhile, have surpassed all expectations in the campaign and are now aiming to secure a last-16 berth over Jose Mourinho's troops.

They only have to equal or better the Serie A outfit's result in the other game against CSKA Sofia.
