Sporting can exploit Bodo/Glimt’s weakness, and it’s not tactical | OneFootball

Sporting knows that they will need to showcase a strong offensive capability to overturn the tie against Bodo/Glimt, after the disadvantage from the first leg, and there is a statistic that might instill confidence in the lions.

allowing an average of 25.6 shots per game to opponents in the prestigious competition.

This record was observed in matches against Slavia Prague, Galatasaray, Borussia Dortmund, Atlético Madrid, and Inter Milan. Despite this, the results show a different reality: Bodo/Glimt lost only one of those games (Galatasaray), securing important victories (Atlético Madrid and Inter Milan, in the play-off) and draws, even when they ended with fewer expected goals than their opponents.

In other words, although they concede many opportunities, the Norwegian team has shown remarkable efficiency, a factor that Sporting will need to counter if they wish to advance in the competition. If they progress, Rui Borges' team will face Arsenal or Bayer Leverkusen.

The green and white emblem thus takes to the field next Tuesday, March 17, once again against Bodo/Glimt. The match, counting for the second leg of this round of the Champions League, against the team led by Kjetil Knutsen, will be played at 17:45.
