Lille's record over the same number of games is solid too but less dominant: 11 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats, with 37 scored and 20 conceded. It's a mixed bag of Ligue 1, cup and continental fixtures, plus some pre-season friendlies, so it's more about general sharpness than a single competition's trend.

Bodo/Glimt look the busier scorers of the two, though neither sample is pure league form.

Comparative Team Statistics: Bodo/Glimt vs Lille

Early days in the league phase

Both clubs currently sit with zero points from a single league-phase game, Lille in 22nd and Bodo/Glimt down in 36th. Lille's one match finished 2-3, while Bodo/Glimt shipped five without scoring in theirs.

One match tells you very little about where either side will end up, but it does mean both will be keen to get their campaign moving here.

Names to note

J. Hauge has been Bodo/Glimt's most productive creator recently, chipping in three assists across his last five appearances, so he's clearly involved in the chances they're generating.

Bodo/Glimt:

Best assist providers:

J. Hauge - 3

Penalty cards:

O. Bjørtuft x 1

Lille:

Penalty cards:

E. Mbappé x 1

On the disciplinary side, O. Bjørtuft already has a red card in his last five games for Bodo/Glimt, and Lille's Mbappé picked up a red in his only recorded appearance in this sample. Neither entry confirms availability for this specific fixture, but both are recent enough to keep an eye on.

What kind of game this could be

Put the attacking form together and this has the look of a game where goals are possible at both ends. Bodo/Glimt's recent sample is built around quick, high-scoring wins, while Lille have shown they can score too, just not always keep things tight at the back.

With both sides still searching for their first league-phase points, there could be extra urgency from kickoff, though a month out it's hard to say which way that tips the balance.
