Official lineups are in for Bodo/Glimt vs Lille on Champions League Matchday 4. Bodo/Glimt have gone with a 4-4-2, while Lille are set up in a 4-3-3 before kickoff.
Bodo/Glimt's shape
The home side's choice is the simpler of the two to read. Bodo/Glimt go with a back four, two central midfielders and two forwards, with Nikita Haikin in goal behind Fredrik Sjøvold, Odin Bjørtuft, Haitam Aleesami and Fredrik Bjørkan.
Their Champions League return so far has been steady rather than explosive. Bodo/Glimt have 3 points from their first three league-phase games, with one win and two defeats, and they sit 28th in the table.
Lille's starting XI
Lille arrive with a different setup and a harder start to the campaign. Their 4-3-3 gives them an extra midfielder in the middle and a front three to stretch the game, while Berke Özer is their last line of defence.
The French side have taken 0 points from their first three league-phase matches, so this is a match they need to treat as a chance to get moving. The lineups do not decide the result, but they do make the matchup easy to picture: Bodo/Glimt with two strikers, Lille with three up front, and both sides already locked into a specific plan for the evening.
