Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham preview

A familiar fixture is back on the calendar as Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt host Tottenham for the second round of Champions League action.

These two clubs last faced off just 145 days ago in the Europa League semi-finals, where Spurs, then managed by Ange Postecoglou, secured a comfortable 2-0 win at Bodo’s Aspmyra Stadion – a venue known as much for its modest 8,270 capacity as for its artificial surface.

But any concerns about the pitch that night were brushed aside by Spurs, who also claimed a 3-1 victory in the first leg in north London, sealing their place in the final with a 5-1 aggregate win.

Fast forward five months, and it’s a new chapter.

Now under the guidance of Thomas Frank, Tottenham arrive in good form, sitting fourth in the Premier League after six games with 11 points from a possible 18 and a five-match unbeaten run across all competitions.

Frank’s side were a touch fortunate to extend that unbeaten run over the weekend with midfielder Joao Palhinha rescuing a point against struggling Wolves.

Still, momentum remains with Spurs, and there’s every reason to believe they can return to winning ways.

Tottenham have won three of their last four away games in major European competitions, while Bodo/Glimt have lost all five of their previous meetings with English opposition in Europe.

That said, Kjetil Knutsen’s side are an extremely good outfit.

In their first-ever UCL bout, they came from two goals down to draw 2-2 away at Slavia Prague – becoming the first Norwegian team to overturn such a deficit in the Champions League since 1999.

Domestically, they’re also flying high, sitting second in the Eliteserien with a league-leading 59 goals scored from just 22 matches, and are currently unbeaten in five games.

Home goals

We’re backing Bodo/Glimt to find the net twice or more in Tuesday’s Champions League clash at 13/10 with William Hill.

The Norwegian side didn’t do themselves justice in last season’s Europa League semi-final meetings with Spurs. But with less pressure and home advantage, they’ll be eager to set the record straight.

En route to the Europa League semi-finals last season, they scored 2+ goals against Porto, Braga, Manchester United, Besiktas, Olympiacos, and Lazio.

And since that second-leg defeat to Spurs back in May, Kjetil Knutsen’s side have hit 2+ goals in eight of their last 11 home fixtures.

They might just fancy their chances against a Tottenham side that’s been stretched recently, playing six matches in just 17 days. Fatigue, squad rotation, and a tough away trip could combine to give Bodo/Glimt the edge.

Involved

If goals are the order of the day, then it’s more than likely that Tottenham livewire Mohammed Kudus will be involved.

Kudus made eight dribbles on his Champions League debut for Tottenham against Villarreal, the most by a Spurs player in a game in the competition since March 2020. He’s also created a bumper 12 chances for his colleagues in the Premier League this season – more than any other Tottenham player.

Not only does he boast the highest expected assists for his side, he’s also second for expected goals, attempts and shots on target.

STRICTLY’S Shirley Ballas broke down in tears and sobbed as she opened up about the devastating loss of her brother.

Shirley, 65, lost her brother David to suicide in 2003, which left her devastated as the siblings, who grew up together in Wallassey, Merseyside, shared a close bond.

And on the latest episode of Paul C Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast, which is released today, Shirley opens up about the pain of losing her brother when he was just 44 years old.

Shirley said: “My brother was either very up or very down. He was not often on the line…

“I’ve heard when we started off, before we moved on the housing estate, my brother was a very gentle soul, and I was the one always screaming and crying and wanting this and dancing round.

“My mother used to put me in the pram, strap me in and put me at the bottom of the yard.

“Because she said I was upside down doing somersaults in the pram. And my brother was really quite a gentle soul.

“Then we moved on the housing estate. I can’t speak for him because he’s since passed, but certain things went on in his life, you know, that were not great, which were communicated many, many years later.

“And I think it just, he had to toughen up, you know, became the tough guy.”

Shirley explained that David, who continued to live up north during the peak of her dancing career, became unwell in his early-to-mid 40’s while she was navigating life in London.

Their mother, who lived with Shirley down south, would visit David in order to help take care of him as he deteriorated through his illnesses.

She went on: “When he was 43, 44 he got poorly, lived in the north of England.

“I lived in the South and I remember my mum going to stay with him. She was with him for about six weeks.

“He seemed very low. He lost a lot of weight. We never really got to the root cause of – I think maybe, if I could just say his past was catching up with him maybe – And, I just think he just somehow went into a dark hole.”

She continued: “The thing is, with depression and mental health, I knew nothing about that. I was busy, I had my son, I had my husband, my mother lived with me and somebody else’s two children that I raised.

“So life was busy and I didn’t stop to go up there. My mother did.

“Again, she wasn’t a great communicator, so she didn’t say, ‘you need to stop everything. You need to come up here’, you know?

“He faded fast. And then there was just one time when my son was singing at Saint Paul’s Church, and I said to my mum and brother, why don’t you come up for the week? And he goes, no, I’m feeling much better. Let mum go.

“And she went and he took his own life that weekend in our home, in our north of England home. So it was just, it was tragic. It was sudden. It was – you can’t even explain it unless you lose somebody.”

David died aged 44, on December 5, 2003, leaving behind a young daughter named Mary.

Shortly after David’s death, the mother of his daughter Mary died of alcoholism.

Shirley took in Mary and raised her as her own.

Shirley has previously said that she wished she could share her happiness with David, who suffered from depression, at seeing his daughter Mary grow up into an “amazing woman”.

The dance judge said: “Her mother died of alcoholism a few years after her father so she really had it tough.

“At first she kept picking the wrong men but now she’s got the most wonderful partner.

“She’s a forensic scientist for the NHS. I couldn’t be prouder of her.”
