Key Players to Watch
Ulrik Saltness (FK Bodø/Glimt)
The Norwegian midfielder who scored the team’s only goal in London is one player never to be underrated. His presence in FK Bodø/Glimt’s midfield will determine the result the team will get in the second leg in Norway.
Wilson Odobert (Tottenham Hotspur)
20-year-old French striker Wilson Odobert, who grabbed 16 minutes of action in the first leg, returned to the domestic league at the weekend to score Tottenham Hotspur’s only goal in their 1-1 stalemate against West Ham. With Solanke, Maddison, and Son sidelined with different degrees of injury, Odobert is likely to earn a starting place in Norway.
