""Last year it was a fairytale," he said of Bodo's Europa League run. "Now to be a force in Norway, it's remarkable what they've done. Their style of play is unique, an extremely well-coached team. "[The second leg] was one performance; it was four months ago, and I was not the coach. This is a new game, a new situation, and we go into it with huge respect. "They're home record here is very good, so we know what we're facing, but we have trust in ourselves.""
"It will be the third time these two sides have met this year, after Spurs smashed Bodo 5-1 over two legs in the semi-finals, en route to winning last season's Europa League under Ange Postecoglou. Their 2-0 away victory in the second leg ended Bodo's five-game winning run at home in European competition, though they have not lost back-to-back such matches since November 2022."
Thomas Frank trusts his Tottenham squad ahead of a Champions League trip to face Bodo/Glimt in Norway. Spurs follow a 1-0 win over Villarreal in the opening 2025-26 group match but have drawn their last two Premier League games. The clubs meet for a third time this year after Spurs beat Bodo 5-1 over two Europa League semi-final legs last season under Ange Postecoglou. Bodo had a five-game home winning run in European competition before that defeat and retain a strong home record. Frank praised Bodo's unique, well-coached style while expressing confidence in his own team. Bodo have lost all five European matches against English clubs.
