Bodø/Glimt Faces Tough Challenges Ahead
Recent Losses Impact Glimt's Future
Bodø/Glimt recently lost their series lead after a defeat against Vålerenga and a narrow loss to Monaco. These setbacks have made their chances of advancing in the Champions League look slim, as they currently sit with only two points after four matches.
League Title on the Line
With three matches left in the season, Bodø/Glimt is in second place, just one point behind Viking. If they win the Eliteserien, they will secure a direct spot in next season's Champions League. However, finishing behind Viking would mean starting in the second qualifying round, which involves three additional matches.
Focus on Upcoming Matches
Coach Kjetil Knutsen emphasized the importance of not deprioritizing their Champions League matches, stating that they aim to perform well on both fronts. He acknowledged the challenges of a busy schedule but believes the team can manage their energy and intensity effectively.
Team's Development and Challenges
Knutsen noted that while Bodø/Glimt is still developing, the demanding match schedule has taken a toll on the players. He remains optimistic about their ability to compete at a high level and is focused on the next match against Juventus, as well as their league performance against Bryne.
