Norwegian champions Bodo\/Glimt are one of the most interesting sides left in European competition.<\/p>\n
With their home games often taking place in freezing conditions north of the Arctic Circle, facing them can prove a difficult proposition for unacclimatised opposition, as Lazio found out in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
The Italians lost the first leg 2-0 in Norway, and despite Lazio fighting back to win 3-1 when at home in the second leg, Bodo\/Glimt won the subsequent shootout to progress.<\/p>\n
Lazio are not the first major team to find themselves upset by Bodo\/Glimt, who famously thrashed Jose Mourinho’s Roma 6-1 in the Europa League group stage four years ago.<\/p>\n
The Norwegians also achieved a Conference League knockout blow in 2022 against a Celtic side managed by current Tottenham boss Postecoglou.<\/p>\n
Bodo is among the most northernmost cities in the world and very isolated from other parts of Norwegian society, with the next nearest major city at least a nine-and-a-half-hour drive away.<\/p>\n
Their fans are also famed for turning up with giant yellow toothbrushes for games.<\/p>\n
