Team Updates
Bodø/Glimt
The Norwegian outfit, Bodø/Glimt, enjoyed their most successful European campaign last season, marking a historic milestone in UEFA tournaments. Over the past five years, the club has steadily established itself as a consistent presence on the continental stage. Now, embarking on their inaugural Champions League journey, they aim to elevate their status even further.
Scheduling appears to favor the home side, as Bodø/Glimt benefit from a five-day rest period, whereas Tottenham faces a tighter turnaround with only three days between matches.
Head coach Kjetil Knutsen faces some injury setbacks ahead of this clash. Defender Brede Moe exited early due to injury after just 28 minutes in their previous game, and winger Daniel Bassi was substituted at halftime. Both will join Ola Brynhildsen, Ulrik Saltnes, and Ole Didrik Blomberg on the sidelines.
The team will rely heavily on their creative playmaker, Jens Petter Hauge, who has been in fine form. The former AC Milan and Eintracht Frankfurt attacker has been directly involved in nine goals over his last eight appearances, netting five times and assisting four.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur have made a solid return to Europe’s premier club competition since their last appearance in the 2022-23 season. Currently positioned 14th in the group standings, Spurs are no strangers to Bodø/Glimt, having clashed with them in the previous season’s Europa League semi-finals-a tie that ultimately saw Tottenham lift the trophy.
Despite a promising start, Tottenham’s squad depth is already being tested early in the 2025-26 campaign.
Manager Antonio Conte is expected to field a lineup similar to the one that faced Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend, though Brennan Johnson may earn a spot in the starting eleven.
Johnson was instrumental in Spurs’ Europa League success last term, finishing as the club’s top scorer with 18 goals across all competitions, including five in Europe.
Match Prediction: Bodø/Glimt 2 – 1 Tottenham Hotspur
