Both teams comes into Tuesday's UCL qualifier in great early-season form and an entertaining contest seems likely in Norway.
Sitting top of their respective domestic leagues in Norway and Serbia, both teams have plenty of reason to be confident ahead of this intriguing contest.
Bodo boast a superb home record which has seen them win each of their last five matches (with a minimum of three goals scored) at Aspmyra Stadion and each of their last six home UCL qualifiers since 2022.
Unbeaten in their last eight matches (W6, D2), the Norwegian champions secured their place in the final qualifying round with a 4:1 win against Polish opponents Jagiellonia Białystok last week. Bodo have now scored four goals exactly in each of their last three home fixtures.
Still, the hosts are not the best defensively - Kjell Knutsen´s side conceded in all but one of their last seven home fixtures.
FK Crvena Zvezda make the trip to Norway also in great form with victories recorded in four of their last five matches. Scoring goals for fun, the Serbs bagged exactly four goals in all four victories.
Historically, the visitors have struggled in previous away UCL qualifiers. FK lost each of their last four away qualification contests since 2022.
Considering both teams superb goal-scoring form, we should expect both teams to score, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the home side score at least twice.
