Inter Milan braves Arctic chill for European clash
17 Feb
Summary
- Inter Milan faces Bodo/Glimt in harsh Arctic weather.
- The synthetic turf presents an additional challenge.
- Inter won 7-1 on aggregate in their 1978 tie.
Serie A leaders Inter Milan are traveling to Norway to compete against Bodo/Glimt in a match defined by severe Arctic weather. The challenge extends beyond the cold temperatures, as the host stadium, Aspmyra Stadion, features synthetic turf which will test the visiting team.
This European fixture marks a reunion after nearly half a decade. Inter Milan holds positive recollections of their last encounter with the Norwegian champions in 1978, having won their two-legged Cup Winners' Cup tie with a commanding 7-1 aggregate score. Despite being favored, Inter must remain vigilant.
Manager Cristian Chivu can look to his team's current form, with six consecutive wins across all competitions bolstering confidence. However, Bodo/Glimt has proven resilient at home, notably defeating Manchester City earlier in the season, indicating they will provide a stern test.
