Match Overview and Betting Preview

The 2025/26 group stage Matchday 2 fixture between Bodo/Glimt (Norway) and Tottenham Hotspur (England) is scheduled for September 30 at Aspmyra Stadium. This article provides a comprehensive prediction and betting analysis, including odds and statistics for the Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham Hotspur encounter.

Bodo/Glimt: Recent Form and Key Statistics

In their opening Champions League fixture, Bodo/Glimt showcased remarkable resilience, securing a 2-2 away draw against Slavia Prague. The Norwegian side managed to recover from a two-goal deficit, with the crucial equalizer coming in the 90th minute. This result ended Bodo/Glimt’s 10-match streak without a draw in the Champions League (7 wins, 3 losses). Furthermore, the club has now scored in three consecutive matches in this tournament. Currently, Kjetil Knutsen’s team sits 18th in the overall group stage standings. Notably, Bodo/Glimt deliberately skipped their most recent Norwegian league match to ensure optimal preparation for the upcoming clash with Tottenham. 

• At least 2 goals have been scored in regular time in 6 of Bodo/Glimt’s last 6 Champions League matches.
• The club has covered a (+1.5) handicap in regular time in 14 of their last 15 tournament games.
• At least one team failed to score in regular time in 6 of their last 8 home matches in the Champions League.

Team News: Bodo/Glimt Injuries

Midfielder Ulrik Saltnes and forward Ola Brynhildsen are unavailable due to injuries. Defender Brede Moe, midfielder Daniel Bassi, and forward Mathias Jørgensen are doubtful for the match.

Tottenham Hotspur: Current Form and Insights

Making their first Champions League appearance since March 2023, Tottenham secured a narrow 1-0 home victory against Villarreal in their Matchday 1 fixture. The decisive goal came from an own goal by Luis Junior in the 4th minute. This marks Tottenham’s second consecutive clean sheet in the Champions League. It’s also worth noting that the team has avoided defeat in 6 of their last 7 matches in this European competition (3 wins, 3 draws). The club currently holds the 14th spot in the overall group stage table. 

• At least one team failed to score in regular time in 8 of Tottenham’s last 11 Champions League matches.
• No more than 2 goals were scored in 7 of the Londoners’ last 9 games in this tournament.
• The club has conceded goals in 5 of their last 6 away Champions League fixtures.

Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Line-up (4-3-3)

Guglielmo Vicario – Djed Spence, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Pedro Porro – João Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall – Mohammed Kudus, Xavi Simons, Richarlison. 

Team News: Tottenham Hotspur Injuries

Defender Radu Dragusin, midfielders Yves Bissouma, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski, along with forwards Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo Muani, remain sidelined due to injuries. Defender Ben Davies might return to the squad after injury.

Match Prediction: Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham Hotspur

Bodo/Glimt will play a home match in the Champions League main tournament for the first time in their history. The home crowd support and the artificial turf are significant factors for Kjetil Knutsen’s squad. This is strongly supported by their 8-match winning streak at home in the Champions League. Moreover, in 7 of these 8 matches, the Norwegians scored at least two goals. Although the club previously hosted opponents strictly within the qualification stage, the statistics are still impressive. It is also worth noting that Bodo/Glimt is ready to put up a fight not only on home soil; considering away matches, the team has not lost in regular time in 7 of their last 9 Champions League matches (6 wins, 1 draw). 

Tottenham’s Away Form Concerns

Tottenham started the current Champions League season successfully, but overall in this European competition, the club has won in regular time in only 4 of their last 12 matches (3 draws, 5 losses). It’s important to add that the Londoners played 3 of their 4 victorious games at home. On foreign territory, the team traditionally struggles more: as evidence, Tottenham has failed to win in regular time in 5 of their last 6 Champions League away matches (1 draw, 4 losses). 

Final Betting Tip

I would also highlight that Bodo/Glimt will have a freshness advantage, as the club skipped their last Norwegian league match. The prediction is – “Bodo/Glimt Win or Draw” with odds of 1.61
