While most sides enter the Champions League at the start of their season, Bodo Glimt will take part in the competition midway through their domestic campaign, so have that additional match sharpness. They currently sit top of the Norway Eliteserien with a record of 15 wins, three draws and three losses from 21 games, looking on track to secure their third consecutive domestic title.

With 58 goals scored, no side has been more effective in the final third than Bodo, who come into this clash having just beaten Kristiansund 7-1 - confidence in their camp could not be higher. 

Slavia Prague also have every reason to look forward to this one, as they are unbeaten after eight games in the Czech First League. They have scored a total of eleven goals from their four home games, but have only managed one clean sheet in that time. Both sides boast strong attacking lineups, so will be confident of getting on the scoresheet.

It has been a rollercoaster of a start for Christian Chivu as Inter Milan boss, as he kicked off his tenure with a commanding 5-0 victory, before losing 2-1 at the San Siro in a shock result against Udinese. Last time out, his side were dealt defeat once more, losing out late on in a seven-goal thriller against Juventus. In the end it was a 91st-minute strike from Vasilije Adzic that secured the points for the hosts, meaning Inter Milan have seen an average of 5.0 goals per game this term. 

Ajax have not provided as much entertainment so far this season, but they do come into this game on a five-game unbeaten run in the Eredivisie. In that time, they have scored ten goals, so will hope to provide their home support with something to cheer once more, despite the gulf in quality between the two teams.

Ange Postecoglou may have secured a Europa League title for Tottenham last season, but his dreadful Premier League campaign saw him dismissed as manager. Despite finishing 17th, Spurs were the entertainers of the division, and actually had the highest goals per game average in the English top flight. The Lilywhites kept just six clean sheets from their 38 league matches. 

His tenure as Nottingham Forest boss could not have started worse, as his side were dismantled by Arsenal at the Emirates. Once again, defensive issues were apparent, and Swansea will look to exploit that, especially given that they have scored in each of their last ten games on home turf.  The Swans come into this game on a six-game unbeaten run, and will look to cause an EFL Cup upset against a Forest side who have lost their last two matches by a 3-0 scoreline.
