We have played both sides in the league stage this year, beating Real Madrid 2-1 in December and losing 3-1 to Bodo/Glimt in the Arctic Circle in January.
Our two potential opponents have vastly different experiences on the European stage.
Bodo/Glimt are enjoying their first Champions League campaign and are the first Norwegian club to reach the last 16 of the competition since Rosenborg reached the quarter-finals in 1996/97.
They qualified for the play-offs with a win at Atletico Madrid after beating us at the Estadio Aspu Mira. At that stage, they had won both legs against Serie A leaders Inter Milan.
