Tottenham Hotspur have made a winning return to the UEFA Champions League and will be looking to build some momentum when they travel to Norway to face Bodo/Glimt on matchday two.
Spurs beat the Norwegians in the semi-finals of the Europa League last term and success in that tournament secured their seat back at the top table.
Villarreal were tricky opponents in London for their Champions League opener but an early own goal sealed a 1-0 win on a bad night for me.
Bodo/Glimt are gracing the Champions League group phase for the first time after a 6-2 aggregate win over Sturm Graz in the play-offs, with two bets landing for Greg in their 5-0 romp at home.
Canny boss Kjetil Knutsen has them extremely well-drilled and they came from 2-0 down to claim a draw at Slavia Prague in their opener.
They've lost just once in their last 15 games, in the second leg of that clash with Graz, so Bodo/Glimt will be confident of avenging that semi-final loss to Tottenham.
How the bookies view it: Spurs have the edge
Tottenham are favourites after winning in Norway last season but their price is still decent at 23/20 with BoyleSports. Bodo/Glimt are 21/10 outsiders and the draw pays 11/4.
Head to head: Tottenham eyeing a hat-trick
The two legs of that semi-final last season are the only previous meetings and Spurs will be looking to keep up their perfect record. They won 3-1 in London then sealed the deal with a 2-0 triumph in Norway.
Probable line-ups
Tottenham have doubts over Randal Kolo Muani and Ben Davies while Dominic Solanke, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Radu Dragusin and Yves Bissouma are set to miss out again.
Bodo/Glimt are sweating on the fitness of Brede Moe, Ulrik Saltnes and Bassi while Ola Brynhildsen and Mathias Jorgensen look set to miss out.
Bodo/Glimt: Haikin, Bjortuft, Aleesami, Gundersen, Sjovold, Berg, Auklend, Evjen, Hogh, Hauge, Bassi.
Tottenham Hotspur: Vicario, Romero, Porro, Spence, Van de Ven, Simons, Bergvall, Kudus, Sarr, Bentancur, Richarlison.
Anything else catch the eye?
Bodo/Glimt didn't really show what they were capable of in that last meeting with Spurs, managing just three shots on target across the two legs.
But semi-finals can often be nervy occassions with so much at stake and they should offer more of a threat in this game after getting 10 efforts on target against Slavia.
Combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals doesn't offer much value at 4/5 with BoyleSports but over 1.5 first-half strikes is better at 13/10.
Most of the Norwegian players are decent prices for a shot on target and winger Jens Hauge looks good at 13/8 to test the Spurs keeper.
The midfield battle should decide who comes out on top and I'm going for the fouls double in the engine room. Backing Pape Sarr and Hakon Evjen to commit over 0.5 fouls each pays 21/20 in a bet builder with Bet365.
