Recent form points to contrasting paths

NEC's last five recent matches have produced three wins, one draw and one defeat. The most recent of those was a 4-1 win over WIL on 15 August, following a 2-1 victory against OLY four days earlier. Before that came a 1-2 defeat to TEL, a goalless draw with OLY and a 2-1 win over GAE in May.

Bodo/Glimt have won four and drawn one of their last five. Their most recent outing was a 3-2 win against USG on 11 August, having beaten VAL 2-1 three days before that. Earlier in the month they drew 3-3 with USG, and in late July recorded back-to-back victories: 4-0 against LIL and 3-0 over SAN.

No previous meetings on record

The two clubs have no recorded head-to-head history, so Wednesday's tie at the Goffertstadion will be the first time they meet in any competition. NEC go into the match having scored six goals across their last two recent matches, while Bodo/Glimt have found the net in each of their last five.

Confirmed line-ups

NEC Nijmegen (3-4-2-1): Gonzalo Crettaz, Tobias Storm, Deveron Fonville, Brayann Pereira, Noé Lebreton, Darko Nejasmic, Clement Bischoff, Emre Mor, Bryan Linssen, Dusan Tadic, Tjaronn Chery

Bodo/Glimt (4-3-3): Nikita Haykin, Fredrik Sjøvold, Haitam Aleesami, Fredrik André Bjørkan, Odin Bjørtuft, Sondre Auklend, Patrick Berg, Sondre Brunstad Fet, Jens Petter Hauge, Ole Didrik Blomberg, Andreas Helmersen
