Bodø/Glimt have won 29 of their last 36 European home games, albeit they've lost both against Premier League opposition during this period.
Tottenham have won all six previous meetings with Norwegian clubs, beating Lyn 12-3 on aggregate in 1972, Tromsø 3-0 and 2-0 in 2013 and Bodø/Glimt themselves 5-1 over two legs in May.
Bodø/Glimt vs Tottenham preview
Can Tottenham Hotspur make it two wins out of two to start their Champions League campaign? A fortnight ago, Spurs beat Villarreal 1-0 on an uneventful night in North London; a comical own goal from goalkeeper Luiz Júnior in just the fourth minute ultimately the difference.
More broadly, Thomas Frank has endured a mixed start to life as Spurs boss. On Saturday night, they required a 94th minute equaliser from João Palhinha to salvage a 1-1 draw against bottom of the table Wolves at home, a second successive Premier League stalemate. In the Champions League, after this, Spurs' remaining away games are at Monaco, PSG and Frankfurt, welcoming København, Slavia Prague and Borussia Dortmund to North London, so they should be more than capable of collecting enough points to finish in the top eight, certainly targeting a victory in Northern Norway.
As for Bodø/Glimt, this will be their first-ever home game in the Champions League group stage, the culmination of a meteoric rise. Since winning their very first Eliteserien title in 2020, they've been champions of Norway in four of the last five seasons, currently second with eight games remaining of this campaign, a point below Viking with a game in hand. This success has given Kjetil Knutsen's the platform on which they've been able to make quite the impact on the continental stage.
The Yellow Horde made their group stage debut just four season ago, getting all the way to the Conference League quarter-finals that year, before then featuring in last season's Europa League semi-finals, with Tottenham themselves shattering their dream. The Champions League though had always been the holy grail, having previously lost qualifiers against Legia Warszawa, Dinamo Zagreb and Crvena zvezda, often in heartbreaking fashion.
This year though, they demolished Sturm Graz in the play-off round, running riot 5-0 in the first leg, making a 2-1 defeat in Klagenfurt of little consequence. Then, on matchday one, Bodø/Glimt fought back from 2-0 down to earn a draw with Slavia Prague; Daniel Bassi halving the deficit in Czechia, before Sondre Brunstad Fet's stunning volley pinched a point. Now, Aspmyra Stadion in the Arctic Circle is prepared for an historic occasion, so can the hosts upset Spurs on Tuesday night?

Bodø/Glimt team news
Captain Ulrik Saltnes hasn't featured since the second leg against Sturm Graz due to illness, so is unlikely to be available here, which is a blow considering he's made 409 appearances for the club.
Ola Brynhildsen, Isak Dybvik Määttä and Ole Didrik Blomberg are also sidelined, while first-choice goalkeeper Nikita Haikin as well as Sondre Brunstad Fet, the hero in Prague, are among those who could come back into the lineup, compared to the team that beat Odd 3-1 in the cup last Thursday.
Bodø/Glimt predicted lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur: (4-3-3): Haikin; Sjøvold, Gundersen, Bjørtuft, Aleesami; Berg, Auklend, Evjen; Jørgensen, Petter Hauge, Høgh.
Bodø/Glimt player to watch vs Tottenham
Kasper Høgh scored seven goals in last season's Europa League, making him the joint-top scorer in the competition, before also netting against Sturm Graz in the Champions League play-offs, so can he add to his ten goals in UEFA competition?
Tottenham team news
Thomas Frank remains without Radu Drăgușin, Kōta Takai, James Maddison, Dejan Kuluševski and Dominic Solanke due to injury, while neither Yves Bissouma nor Mathys Tel are in the UEFA squad.
The new manager is being criticised by supporters for being too conservative when Tottenham dominate possession, as they did against Wolves on Saturday, starting both João Palhinha and Rodrigo Bentancur at the base of midfield, thereby shunting Xavi Simons out-wide, so will this be the case again here? Pedro Porro is likely to return at right-back, while Pape Matar Sarr, Brennan Johnson and Wilson Odobert at among the more attacking players hoping to come in to the lineup.
Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Bodø/Glimt: (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, van de Ven, Romero, Udogie; Palhinha, Bentancur, Bergvall; Kudus, Simons, Richarlison.
Tottenham player to watch vs Bodø/Glimt
Richarlison has three goals to his name already this season, having only bagged five throughout the entirety of last season, so will he add to his tally in Northern Norway?
Bodø/Glimt vs Tottenham prediction
As they did in May, we are backing Spurs to leave the Arctic Circle victorious, although it won't be easy, and now many teams beat Bodø/Glimt on their own turf: Bodø/Glimt 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur.
