Bodo/Glimt preview: Unebaten in Europe
Bodo/Glimt maintained their unbeaten start to the Europa League this season courtesy of a 2-1 win away at Portuguese side Braga.
The Norwegians beat another Portuguese side, in the form of Porto, in their opening game of this competition but followed that up with a goalless draw in Belgium against Union SG.
Molde held Bodo/Glimt to a 3-3 draw at the weekend but we still expect Thursday's hosts to outscore their guests from Azerbaijan.
Predicted lineup: Haikin (GK), Wembangomo, Gundersen, Bjorkan, Bjortuft, Maatta, Saltnes, Zinckernagel, Berg, Fet & Hauge

Qarabag preview: Lost their three openers
Qarabag are still searching for their first points in this season's Europa League after losing their latest game 3-0 at home to Dutch giants Ajax.
Malmo got the better of Qarabag on matchday two and that came after the disappointment of their 3-0 hammering at the hands of Tottenham.
Qarabag top the table in Azerbaijan but sit rock bottom of the new Europa League format due to their goal difference of minus seven.

Jens Hauge returned to Bodo/Glimt this season following a short spell in Italy with AC Milan and time in Germany with Eintracht Frankfurt and in Belgium with Gent.
The 25-year-old has scored nine goals in all competitions so far this season, including two in the Europa League where Bodo/Glimt have already caused a few shocks.
