While Bodo/Glimt are in a devilishly tight title race in Norway, attempting to hold onto their Eliteserien crown, that has not seen their performances suffer on the continent.
Their remarkable home record in Europe continued on matchday one, as they stunned Porto here at Aspmyra, but they have also proven they can travel well, despite often suffering on the road in recent seasons.
After a draw with Union Saint-Gilloise to follow up their opening day victory, Bodo/Glimt shocked Portuguese opposition again, with Villads Nielsen's last-gasp header at the Quarry enough to beat Braga 2-1.
That means the Norwegian side have already won more games than they did in their last Europa League group stage campaign, and can now win back-to-back games in the competition for the first time.
The hosts will be huge favourites to do so too, as the Porto win was their 25th in 31 home games in Europe, as clubs across the continent continue to struggle to acclimatise with the plastic pitch and the climate in the Arctic Circle.
Another win in Europe will also help boost morale for their title run-in with Brann, who have won three in a row to cut the gap entirely at the summit of Norway's top flight, with Bodo/Glimt having dropped five points from winning positions since the Braga success.
In comparison, Qarabag have made a hopeless start to their European campaign, and are a long way off the performances they showed last season when they were just moments from reaching the quarter-finals at the expense of Bayer Leverkusen.

虽然Bodo/Glimt在挪威进行了一场激烈的冠军争夺战，试图保住他们的精英队冠军，但他们在欧洲大陆的表现并没有受到影响。
他们出色的欧洲主场战绩在第一个比赛日继续，他们在阿斯迈拉击败了波尔图，但他们也证明了他们可以很好地旅行，尽管最近几个赛季他们经常在客场遭遇困境。
在首场战平圣吉卢瓦兹联盟之后，博多/格里姆特再次震惊了葡萄牙对手，维拉德斯·尼尔森在Quarry球场最后时刻的头球足以以2-1击败布拉加。
这意味着挪威队已经赢得了比他们上一届欧联杯小组赛更多的比赛，并且现在可以第一次在欧联杯小组赛中背靠背获胜。
东道主也将是夺冠的大热门，因为波尔图的胜利是他们在欧洲31场主场比赛中的第25场胜利，因为整个大陆的俱乐部都在努力适应塑料球场和北极圈的气候。
在欧洲的另一场胜利也将有助于提高他们与布兰恩争夺冠军的士气，布兰恩已经取得了三连胜，完全缩小了在挪威顶级联赛顶峰的差距，自从布拉加的胜利以来，博多/格里姆特已经从冠军位置上下降了5分。
相比之下，卡拉巴格在他们的欧洲之旅中有一个令人绝望的开局，他们与上赛季的表现还有很长的路要走，当时他们差一点就被勒沃库森击败，进入了四分之一决赛。
