Are Bodo Glimt good?

Bodø/Glimt are a serious proposition domestically. At home in Norway, the club has built a 67% win rate — a figure that places them among the most dominant home sides in northern Europe. Their expected goals figures at Aspmyra Stadion tell a similar story: an xG for of 1.79 and an xG against of just 0.82 shows a side that creates chances and suppresses opponents, according to FootyStats H2H data.

League performance

The Norwegian Eliteserien champions have grown into a club that punches above its weight in European competition. Even against Premier League opposition, Bodø/Glimt have managed to control matches — in the May 8, 2025 Europa League tie, they held 69% possession despite losing 0-2.

Home form stats

xG data from that match illustrates their threat: Bodø/Glimt created an xG of 0.41 in that game, suggesting they created quality chances even in a defeat. Against Tottenham in the September Champions League fixture, their xG of 1.93 — higher than Tottenham’s 1.01 — shows they can trouble even well-drilled opponents.

Is Bodø/Glimt a big club in Norway?

Bodø/Glimt are the dominant force in Norwegian football right now. Having won the Eliteserien, the club has established itself as a regular in European competition — and the semi-final run against Tottenham in 2025 proved they can compete at the highest levels of European football.

Domestic success

The club’s rise from mid-table obscurity to title winners has been remarkable. Their tactical identity — high pressing, rapid transitions — has earned respect across Scandinavia.

European record

Before facing Tottenham, Bodø/Glimt had already knocked out several established clubs in qualifying rounds. The semi-final run in the Europa League — and the subsequent Champions League fixture — demonstrated that they belong on the European stage, even if results haven’t always gone their way.

Bodø/Glimt vs Tottenham stats all time

The head-to-head record between these clubs is short but significant. Tottenham have won both Europa League encounters, while the September 2025 Champions League meeting produced a 2-2 draw. Across all meetings, Tottenham have been more clinical in decisive moments.

The documented encounters show three matches with three different outcomes, confirming a pattern of Tottenham’s quality telling in tight situations.

xG comparison

Expected goals data reveals an interesting dynamic. In the Europa League semi-final second leg, Tottenham’s xG of 0.78 against Bodø/Glimt’s 0.41 reflected clinical finishing. But in the Champions League draw, Bodø/Glimt’s 1.93 xG outpaced Tottenham’s 1.01 — suggesting the Norwegian side created the better chances despite the draw, per FootyStats match data.

Bodø/Glimt vs Tottenham prediction

Based on the available data, Tottenham enter any future meeting as favourites. Their 100% win rate against Norwegian opposition in major European competitions, combined with superior squad depth, gives them a clear edge. However, Bodø/Glimt’s home form — a 67% win rate and xG figures that often exceed opponents — means they cannot be dismissed.

Form guide

Tottenham’s Europa League campaign ended with a final appearance after dismantling Bodø/Glimt. The Champions League draw on September 30, 2025, showed Bodø/Glimt can compete — but also confirmed that Tottenham possess the quality to respond when challenged.
