Juventus will play tonight from 22:00 (live on Digi Sport 3 and Prima Sport 4) in harsh winter weather in Norway. In Bodo, it started snowing again, after a consistent half last night. A new layer of snow of ten centimeters has been deposited, and at the start of the match with Bodo/Glimt, -10 degrees Celsius will be recorded.
The onset of winter has made the weather increasingly hostile to football near the Arctic Circle. In Bodo, where Juventus have to play tonight in the 4th stage of the Champions League, Luciano Spalletti's players will have conditions they are not at all used to.

Since last night it started snowing and the first consistent layer of snow was deposited in the Norwegian city. It stopped in the morning, but after a few hours it started snowing again!
Due to the closure of Bodo airport, Giorgio Chiellini and Damien Comolli left Sweden in a car!
“At the Aspmyra stadium, the bulldozers have been working since midday and have removed the white layer. The heating system has been put into operation, so the synthetic playing surface should be in good condition,” writes the Turin press
If the Bianconeri team left earlier, instead the general manager Damien Comolli and the strategy director Giorgio Chiellini (newly elected federal councilor) had to travel by car, as there are serious problems at Bodo airport: no plane can land!

The two Juventus officials were stranded in Sweden after their flight failed to take off. So they decided to take the car to the city of Bodo, but with the 300 km journey ahead of them, it is not clear if they will make it in time for the match!
The precipitation was for a mixed period, and the drop in temperature towards night (Italians fear a frost of up to -10 degrees Celsius) complicates the situation. There is no warning from UEFA yet, but it is clear that Bodo/Glimt will benefit from the weather conditions.
