Tottenham – Bodo/Glimt 01-05-25

For the first time in a long time, it's not just us Norwegians who are talking about Norwegian club football - the world has opened its eyes.
Glimt has delivered performances that have made experts in England, Italy and Germany open their eyes, and their journey is reminiscent of Rosenborg's glory days in the 90s - only in a modern and more intense European everyday life.

Tottenham – All the pressure on the home favorite

Tottenham have had a season that has been more volatile than Tower Bridge in a storm.
A weak Premier League season means the Europa League is the club's only hope of saving both their honour and their future.
Ange Postecoglou has got Spurs playing attacking football, but opponents have also exploited their naive backroom weaknesses time and time again.

Even with the likes of Son Heung-min, James Maddison and Richarlison in the squad, Tottenham are carrying a burden of expectation that could prove to be heavy to bear in a match where anything short of victory will be seen as a failure.
Son is expected back, but the team has shown itself vulnerable, especially when the opposition dares to challenge them high up the pitch.

Bodø/Glimt – From the Dark Ages to Europe's Spotlight

It's hard to put into words what Bodø/Glimt have achieved in recent years. From playing in front of empty stands in the 1st division to beating Lazio, Besiktas and Olympiacos on their way to a Europa League semi-final. And when they first faced a Premier League team on this stage, they could hardly have found a better opponent than Tottenham.
Spurs' offensive, risky style suits Glimt's transition-strong, fearless attacking game perfectly.

Even though captain Patrick Berg, Håkon Evjen and Andreas Helmersen are out, and Blomberg and Bjørtuft are uncertain, this is a team that never lets itself be intimidated.
They play their own game, they have faith in themselves, and they know that one good performance can rewrite Norwegian football history. The world has taken notice of Glimt – now they have the opportunity to amaze the entire football world again.

Norwegian will against English pressure of expectations

Tottenham want the ball the most, but Bodø/Glimt want more than possession, they want the moments.
They want the counterattacks, the pressure, the chances that make the London night electric. There is nothing to lose for Glimt here, and it is in such matches that they have previously shown that they can get anyone off balance. Spurs' defensive weaknesses have been evident all season, and even a weakened Glimt version can find its way to the net.

We believe in a match where both teams find goals and where Bodø/Glimt can make Tottenham sweat far more than they expected.
