Bodo/Glimt v Tottenham: Confirmed line-ups as Spurs look to continue strong Champions League start
The two sides met in last season's Europa League semi-final
Tottenham travel north of the Arctic Circle to face Bodo\Glimt as the Londoners look to build on their opening Champions League win over Villarreal.
History favours Spurs, with the Premier League side winning both legs when the two teams met in the Europa League semi-finals last season.
To add to that, Bodø/Glimt have lost all five of their games against English sides in major European competition, however, all those defeats have come in the Europa League.
But that is not the say the Norwegian club will be pushovers. Their rise over the last few years has been nothing short of remarkable, and manager Kjetil Knutsen will be hoping his players will leave their mark on what is the club’s first-ever Champions League campaign.
Here are how the two teams line up for this evening’s clash.
