How Bodo/Glimt got on this weekend ahead of Tottenham semi-final clash
Bodo/Glimt warmed up for their huge Europa League clash against Tottenham Hotspur in the best way possible. Let’s see how the Norwegian side got on this weekend.
The Europa League is back this week, with Tottenham Hotspur set to lock horns with Bodo/Glimt at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday, 1 May 2025.
Coming into this clash, Glimt had already stunned one of the tournament favourites, Lazio – not in the most straightforward fashion, but they still got the job done, winning 3-2 on penalties.
Tottenham, meanwhile, saw off Eintracht Frankfurt, edging a 1-0 win at the Deutsche Bank Park after a 1-1 draw at home.
Ahead of Thursday’s clash, both sides returned to league action. For Spurs, it was a painful afternoon – a dismantling 5-1 loss to Liverpool.
But for Bodo/Glimt, it was a different story entirely. Here’s how they fared at the weekend.
Bodo/Glimt seal comfortable win ahead of Tottenham clash
Coming into Thursday’s clash, Kjetil Knutsen’s side will be buoyed by their convincing 3-0 win in the Eliteserien Round 4 tie against KFUM.
That 3-0 victory means Glimt remain unbeaten in their domestic campaign, with three wins and one draw from their opening four fixtures.
The win against KFUM came at Glimt’s home ground – a place where they’ve yet to taste defeat in Europa League knockout matches this season.
It being a home tie also allowed their main man, Hogh, to shine – bagging a brace with goals in the 80th and 87th minute (penalty).
Spurs handed big boost with Bodo/Glimt injuries and suspensions
While Glimt head into this semi-final on the back of a morale-boosting win, there are a few issues that could make things tricky for the Eliteserien champions.
Bodo/Glimt will be without some key players when they take on Spurs in the Europa League. Captain Patrick Berg is suspended after picking up too many yellow cards, and his midfield partner Hakon Evjen, is also ruled out for the same reason.
Adding to their woes, Andreas Helmersen, who scored a vital goal against Lazio, is suspended after his red card in the previous round.
Tottenham will be hoping to make these absences count when they welcome Glimt under the lights on Thursday night.
