Familiar foes meet again but this time it is in the UEFA Champions League as Bodo/Glimt host Tottenham Hotspur in Match-Day 2, Softfootball reports.
Spurs won their first match 1-0 against Villarreal and will be hoping to continue on their winning run at the Arctic Circle on Tuesday.
Interestingly, four months ago both teams met at the semi-finals of the Europa League and the English club under Ange Postecoglou slaughtered the Scandinavians 5-1 on aggregate.
Spurs are ready for the game on Tuesday as their official X handle shared in a post.

Tottenham Hotspurs will be without Dominic Solanke (ankle) and Randal Kolo Muani (dead leg) as both strikers’ issues are taking longer to heal than anticipated.
Spurs defender Ben Davies (knee) is also not unavailable for„ Tuesday while alongside Dejan Kulusevski (knee), James Maddison (ACL), Radu Dragusin (ACL), Kota Takai (foot) and Yves Bissouma (unspecified) as they continued to receive treatment.
Interestingly, Mathys Tel was not registered for the league phase of the Champions League which has depleted Frank’s attacking options further. Brazilian forward Richarlison is the only fit striker and should be available.
For the host, Bodo/Glimt, the cost of their recent NM Cup win over Odds BK was first-half groin injuries to centre-back Brede Moe and right-winger Bassi which rules them out for this tie.
Club captain Ulrik Saltnes (illness) is 50/50 ahead of Tuesday’s game. But Odin Bjortuft, Ole Didrik Blomberg and Mathias Jorgensen will likely start the classic match.
Bodo/Glimt probable XI:
Lund; Sjovold, Bjortuft, Nielsen, Aleesami; Fet, Berg, Auklend; Blomberg, Hogh, Hauge
Tottenham Hotspur probable XI:
Vicario; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Spence; Sarr, Palhinha, Bergvall; Johnson, Richarlison, Odobert
Softfootball prediction
Bodo/Glimt and Tottenham are very attacking sides and goals should be expected in this encounter. Bodo/Glimt 2-3 Tottenham.
