On paper should beat Maccabi Haifa, but we have to step up, as they are a level up from our previous 2 opponents in this competition.
They have a few recognisable players to some, Tjaronn Chery (played for QPR), Yanic Wildschut (Middlesbrough, Norwich)

Game is at home. I expect a comfortable win for once due to being at home. 3-1 Spurs after battering Chelsea earlier in the week.

I'm much less worried about Haifa than either of these other two games for the simple reason that we're at home. Obviously we can't play like we did for large spells of these two games against Haifa but at home I'm confident we won't.

By the way, anyone not watching Milan v Bodø/Glimt now just get it on asap. Milan are 3-2 up but it's a real thriller.

Bodo are some team to watch
They are the best Norwegian side I've seen since the Rosenborg side that got to the CL quarters in the late 90s. It was a tragedy that they drew Milan as I think they would've torn it up in the group stage had they got there.

But this team is so good it'll be dismantled and all the best players will leave either at the end of this window or in January. They're too good not to get picked up by bigger clubs in bigger leagues.

Shkendija were 302 ranked.

Maccabi in one off game won't be easy but think this one is at home at least so less travelling.

We better be looking at Jens Petter Hauge.

Immense performance tonight against Milan.

Norwegian commentators on the stream I was watching were both Bodø/Glimt supporters, of course, and they were both begging a big international club to take him because he is too good for them.

Hauge had a verbal agreement with Cercle Brugge lined up for this summer before all of a sudden he started playing like the best player Eliteserien has seen in years. Nothing was signed so it was easy for him to back out of, and now he should be a dead cert for a top league either in the next couple of weeks or in January. He's only 20 too.

I think Glimt will keep pretty much everyone until January because none of them want to miss the title celebrations when they come.
