Arsenal will be looking to keeping their winning run of form going as they travel to face Norwegian champions Bodo/Glimt in last week's reverse fixture. Mikel Arteta's still have a game-in-hand in their Europa League group stage but can go one step closer of securing a spot in the round of 16 with a win at the Aspmyra Stadion.
The Gunners are the favourites to secure all three points in Scandinavia at 1/2 with Betfred while hosts Bodo/Glimt are 11/2 and a draw is 19/5. They will be looking to maintain their impressive away form having only lost once in their last 14 trips in the Europa League - their last defeat coming in 2021 against Unai Emery's Villarreal.
For the hosts, they will be looking to maintain their distance over FC Zurich who are bottom of Group A. Kjetil Knutsen - who was previously linked to Brighton & Hove Albion earlier this season - will be looking to secure a spot in the Europa Conference League as an absolute minimum, despite starting their European campaign in the Champions League qualification rounds.

Meanwhile, Bodo/Glimt achieve over 7.5 total corners 10 times in their 25 league outings but the visitors have only conceder more than three corners once this season.

Player to watch
Keep an eye out on Eddie Nketiah and Fabio Vieira as the Gunners look to secure another away win in Europe. Nketiah has scored in his last four starts in the Europa League and if he does it again on Thursday then that will make him the first Englishman to score in five successive starts. He is 11/10 to score anytime.
Meanwhile, former Porto midfielder Vieira will be looking to continue his fine form against the Norwegian champions. The attacking midfielder was impressive in appearance at the Emirates last week with five shots - two of which were on target - providing an assist for Rob Holding's header and picking up his first European goal for the Gunners too. He is 21/10 to score anytime.
