Latest football commentary on Tottenham vs Bodo/Glimt
Needing just a point to clinch the Premier League title in front of a home crowd on Merseyside on Sunday afternoon, Liverpool eased past a struggling Tottenham side with a thumping 5-1 win to become English champions for the 20th time.
Tottenham had a glimmer of hope after expensive new signing Dominic Solanke unexpectedly opened the scoring at Anfield, but coach Arne Slot's team quickly brought the match back to its familiar orbit and ended the afternoon with an overwhelming victory.
With just four games left in a dismal Premier League season, Ange Postecoglou’s side are 16th – on the verge of matching their worst Premier League campaign ever. The lack of relegation has been down to the weakness of the newly promoted sides.
Having won titles in his second season at Brisbane Roar, Yokohama F. Marinos and Celtic, 59-year-old Postecoglou still has a great chance to add another title to his career, as he aims to help Tottenham end their 17-year drought of major titles.
Despite their slump in the Premier League, Spurs have performed very well in the Europa League this season and brought an unforgettable night for fans when they defeated Eintracht Frankfurt - the 2021-22 champions - in the quarter-finals with the only goal from the penalty spot by Solanke.
Despite being a surprise semi-finalist this season, Bodo/Glimt have been stirring up Nordic football for a long time since their first Eliteserien title in 2020. So it's not too hard to believe that they will become the first Norwegian representative to reach the semi-finals of a UEFA club competition.
The team nicknamed “Superlaget” has won the Norwegian championship for two consecutive seasons (2023 and 2024), and enters the 2025 season as the top contenders. They started the domestic league unbeaten: three wins, one draw in the first four rounds.
Bodo/Glimt enjoyed an ideal warm-up ahead of their trip to Tottenham on Thursday night, with Kasper Waarts Hogh scoring twice and Ulrik Saltnes sealing a 3-0 win over KFUM Oslo in the Bundesliga.
Hogh – the Danish striker – is the team's brightest star, scoring seven goals in 12 Europa League matches this season, temporarily leading the Golden Boot race with Olympiacos' Ayoub El Kaabi.
Despite losing all three of their previous encounters with English sides, Bodo/Glimt did cause a surprise when they visited Old Trafford in the group stage in November, where they took the lead against Manchester United but then lost 3-2.
