Bodø/Glimt vs Tottenham | Football Preview & Betting Tips | 30 September 2025
Bodø/Glimt are tearing up the Norwegian Eliteserien, unbeaten in their last 10 and fresh off a 4-0 thrashing of Molde on September 27. Tottenham, sitting fourth in the Premier League, come off a 2-1 Carabao Cup win but have been inconsistent away. Bodø will likely stick with a 4-3-3, leaning on high pressing and quick wing play. Spurs’ 4-2-3-1 will focus on controlling the midfield and exploiting pace on the flanks. Bodø have Patrick Berg doubtful and Ulrik Saltnes suspended; Tottenham are missing Yves Bissouma and Richarlison, with Destiny Udogie doubtful. This is a clash of Bodø’s home dominance against Spurs’ Premier League quality, with the Arctic conditions adding an extra layer of intrigue.
