Bodø/Glimt hosted Lazio last Thursday in their UEFA Europa League quarter-final first-leg and succeeded in playing one of their best games this season while winning 2-0 and getting a very important advantage over their Italian opponents ahead of the second leg.
This tactical analysis will cover what happened in the first leg, focusing mainly on Bodø/Glimt’s strengths and exceptional attacking performance.
The analysis will also reserve a section that explores Lazio’s errors and studies the tactics and solutions that need to be used in the second leg to bring Lazio back into the game and snatch the qualification ticket.
There’s no single statistic that can explain why Borussia Mönchengladbach currently sit seventh in the Bundesliga.
Yes, after finishing 14th last season, Gladbach have a chance of qualifying for European competition this term.
That would be massive.
But if you look at the statistics, there’s nothing special about them.
Their underlying numbers aren’t anything extraordinary.
Yes, their xG is the sixth highest in the league, but their xGA is the second worst.
If you were to calculate by xG difference, Gladbach would be 13th.
They also don’t press the opposition very hard, as their PPDA (passes allowed per defensive action) is among the highest (which means one of the least intense).
Under Gerardo Seoane, Gladbach are not really one of the best attacking or defensive teams.
Frankly, they are not good in either category.
They are just… well, efficient.
Efficiency comes in several categories: maximising their attack, maximising their set-pieces, maximising the strength of their players, and, most importantly, maximising their space—which covers all the things I mentioned before.
