Inter Milan will travel to the Aspmyra Stadion to face FK Bodo/Glimt in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League knockout playoff on Tuesday, looking to set a new club record if they are to progress to the round of 16.
Last season’s Champions League finalists head into the second leg under real pressure after a surprising 3-1 setback in the first meeting, leaving their hopes of reaching the round of 16 hanging in the balance.
Their European form has been worrying of late, with four losses in their last five matches in the competition. Despite those continental struggles, Inter’s overall performances remain strong, as evidenced by seven victories from their previous eight games in all competitions.
However, believe it or not, Inter have never won a Champions League knockout game by three goals or more, so they will need to write a new chapter of club history to advance.
On the other side, Bodo/Glimt are closing in on a landmark achievement in their debut Champions League campaign. The Norwegian outfit could become the first club from their country to win a knockout tie in the competition since Lillestrom SK.
With a two-goal advantage from the first leg, they arrive full of belief. Another victory would see Bodo/Glimt make history as the first club, outside Europe’s top five leagues, to record three straight UCL wins in a single season against top teams.

Player to watch: Kasper Hogh
Kasper Hogh has been an important player for the visitors, as he has been scoring back-to-back in their last five games. The forward has scored five goals in his last five games, showing great versatility in the final third.
Hogh has also scored three goals and provided one assist and his ability to find space between the lines and his clinical nature in front of the goal make him the primary threat to Inter’s defence.
