Tottenham enter their Champions League clash with Bodo/Glimt looking to build on a steady start under Thomas Frank, who oversaw a cagey 1-0 win over Villarreal in their opening fixture. The victory, courtesy of an early own goal, set Spurs on course to potentially achieve a feat they have managed only once before — winning their first two games in a Champions League campaign. Europa League holders and seasoned continental competitors, Spurs boast just one defeat from their last 13 UEFA matches and have never fallen to Norwegian opposition, winning all six prior encounters. Yet a frustrating 1-1 Premier League draw with winless Wolves at the weekend served as a reminder that domestic form can still falter, despite their European pedigree.
For Bodo/Glimt, the stage is historic. Fresh from eliminating Sturm Graz to earn their maiden place in the group phase, the Eliteserien champions announced themselves with a spirited comeback in Prague, salvaging a 2-2 draw against Slavia despite trailing by two goals deep into the second half. That resilience extended their unbeaten run to five matches across competitions, though Thursday’s Norwegian Cup victory came with fresh injury concerns. Now the northernmost side ever to grace the Champions League, Kjetil Knutsen’s men carry both momentum and the underdog spirit into this rematch with a Tottenham side who denied them a Europa League fairytale last season.
