This change of schedule will give Bodø/Glimt a break between their two matches against NEC, allowing them to recharge for the return leg in Norway. The first leg is set to take place at the Goffert on Wednesday, with the return match following a week later. NEC have also been given a break, with their Eredivisie match against Excelsior rescheduled.
The new date for Bodø/Glimt's match against Fauske/Sprint is particularly interesting, as the Norwegian side will have to play 21 hours after their match against NEC. However, their recent history against Fauske/Sprint may give them cause for optimism. In their last meeting in 2017, Bodø/Glimt won 7-0.
Bodø/Glimt will now face Fauske/Sprint on 26 August at 18:00.
