Tottenham Hotspur travel to Bodo/Glimt for a Champions League clash, just a few months after they faced each other in the latter stages of the Europa League.
Spurs enjoyed an impressive 5-1 aggregate victory over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League semi-final, with Ange Postecoglou's side going on to win the competition. They now prepare to face them once again, but this time Thomas Frank will be in the dugout after Postecoglou was sacked before the beginning of the season.
As the two sides prepare to go head-to-head once again, this is how GIVEMESPORT believes they will line up, including any teams emerging in the last few days.
Bodo/Glimt Team News
In Bodo/Glimt's most recent game, centre-back Brede Moe and winger Bassi were both substituted in the first half of a recent cup game due to injuries, so there's a chance they could miss the game against Tottenham. Captain Ulrik Saltnes will also miss out due to illness, while Mathias Jorgensen has picked up a knock which could make him a doubt.
Bodo/Glimt Predicted XI
Bodo/Glimt Predicted XI: Lund; Sjovold, Bjortuft, Nielsen, Aleesami; Fet, Berg, Auklend; Blomberg, Hogh, Hauge
Bodo/Glimt Predicted Substitutes: Haikin (GK), Brondbo (GK), Gundersen (DEF), Klynge (MID), Rissnaes (MID), Evjen (MID), Jorgensen (FWD), Helmersen (FWD), Maatta (FWD), Bro (FWD).
Bodo/Glimt will be forced to make changes after their recent injuries, which could see them line up with a front three of Blomberg, Hogh, and Hauge. Hogh could be the danger man for Tottenham, providing 21 goals and assists this season.
Tottenham Team News
News emerges on Monday that Randal Kolo Muani and Dominic Solanke were both absent from training ahead of the game against Bodo/Glimt, so you'd imagine there's very little chance that either player will be available for this one. Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin, James Maddison, Yves Bissouma, and Kota Takai will all be unavailable, while Mathys Tel was unfortunate not to be named in their Champions League squad.
Tottenham Predicted XI
Tottenham Predicted XI: Vicario; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Spence; Sarr, Palhinha, Bergvall; Johnson, Richarlison, Odobert.
Tottenham Predicted Substitutes: Kinsky (GK), Romero (DEF), Udogie (DEF), Byfield (DEF), Davies (DEF), Gray (MID), Bentancur (MID), Simons (MID), Kudus (FWD), Scarlett (FWD).
We could see a host of changes after a disappointing display from Tottenham at the weekend. Xavi Simons is struggling with consistency, so we could see him drop out, while Mohamed Kudus has dropped off after a strong start. There is a lack of options in attack for Frank due to injuries.
Simons, Christian Romero, and Kudus, who earns a combined £540,000-a-week, could all be watching on from the bench as Frank looks to rotate his squad for this game.
