Tottenham v Bodo/Glimt Prediction & Betting Tips

Thursday | 19:00 UTC | Tottenham Hotspur Stadium | Europa League Semi-Final (1st Leg)

Tottenham’s domestic season has fallen apart, but a Europa League run offers a chance at redemption. With a semi-final clash against Norwegian upstarts Bodo/Glimt, Ange Postecoglou’s men will be desperate to seize control in the first leg.

Spurs Turning to Europe for Salvation

It’s been a disastrous Premier League campaign for Spurs, but Europe has offered rare moments of relief. Unbeaten at home in the Europa League this season (W4, D2), they’ve shown they can rise to the occasion under the lights.

Postecoglou’s side saw off Eintracht Frankfurt in the last round, and despite their shaky league form, they remain one of the competition’s favourites. This tie presents a golden opportunity to salvage their season, though Postecoglou’s job may still be hanging in the balance.

Bodo/Glimt a Dangerous Underdog

The Norwegians have made history as the first side from their country to reach a European semi-final, and their shock win over Lazio proves they’re no passengers.

But they’ve struggled on the road, losing all 3 of their away games in the knockout stages. And with Spurs unbeaten in North London, this looks like a tough ask for the visitors.

That said, Glimt have scored in 12 of their 14 games in the competition and Tottenham have just 1 clean sheet in their last 13 in all competitions, so expect them to pose a threat.

How the Bookies See It

Spurs are heavy favourites at 1.29 to win at home, while Bodo/Glimt are 9.20 outsiders. A 3-1 home win is priced at 10.00 and looks like a fair reflection of the likely contest. You can back Tottenham to win and both teams to score at 2.65.

Head-to-Head: First Ever Meeting

This will be the first competitive meeting between Tottenham and Bodo/Glimt. Spurs have handled European minnows well this season, while Glimt are no strangers to upsetting the odds.

Players to Watch

With Son Heung-min still sidelined, Dominic Solanke could lead the line again. The former Bournemouth striker has 2 goals in his last 3 games, including one at Anfield at the weekend. He’s also been a standout performer in Europe with 3 goals and 4 assists in 10 appearances.

For Glimt, watch out for Jens Petter Hauge and Amahl Pellegrino on the break, they’ve been consistent threats in the competition.

Predicted Lineups

Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Hojbjerg, Bentancur; Kulusevski, Maddison, Johnson; Solanke
Bodo/Glimt: Haikin; Sampsted, Moe, Høibråten, Wembangomo; Gronbaek, Vetlesen, Saltnes; Pellegrino, Hauge, Espejord
