The stats
Last season, these two clubs met for the first time in the semi finals of the Europa League. in the process, they became the first ever Norwegian side to reach the last four of a major European competition.
Knutsen's men lost the tie 5-1 on aggregate as Spurs went on to lift the trophy.

Bodo/Glimt are coming towards the end of their league campaign and they have the best attacking record in the division, however, they have also conceded just 20 goals across 22 games.
Formidable at both ends of the pitch, Frank will have to be wary of the threat that the home side pose.

Prediction
Spurs have looked solid under Frank across the first few weeks of the season, but there has still been the occasional lapse.
Indeed, they were lucky to snatch a point against Wolves at the weekend.
Against Villarreal in their first Champions League match, the tie was decided by an own goal scored in the opening few minutes.
A trip to Aspmyra Stadion in Bodø, therefore, represents a tricky task for the North Londoners and the intense atmosphere, combined with an artificial pitch, will challenge Frank's men on Tuesday evening.
Despite this, Spurs should still have enough to seal their second consecutive league phase victory in the competition this season.
