Bodø/Glimt - Tottenham
When: 21:00
Where: UEFA Europa League Semi-final Second Leg
Bodø/Glimt
The Norwegian club under the guidance of Kjetil Knutsen shows strong performances at their home Aspmyra Stadium. Eight consecutive home wins, including two 3-0 victories in the Norwegian league, demonstrate their home strength. In the Europa League, Bodø/Glimt has won five consecutive home matches, scoring 15 goals. In the quarterfinals, they surprised with a 2-0 win against Lazio Rome and advanced through a penalty shootout. Key player Kasper Høegh, with seven tournament goals, remains the biggest offensive threat. The return of Patrick Berg, Håkon Evjen, and Andreas Helmersen strengthens the team. However, Daniel Bassi is missing due to injury, slightly weakening the defense.
Tottenham Hotspur
Angelos Postecoglou sees his team only in 16th place in the Premier League, with just two away wins in the last ten matches. But in European competitions, the Spurs show more stability: a 1-0 away win against Eintracht Frankfurt and the 3-1 first leg victory reflect this form. Serious injuries to James Maddison (season-ending), Radu Dragusin, and Lucas Bergvall weigh on the team. It is uncertain whether Son Heung-min and Dominic Solanke can play. Substitutes like Richarlison, Brennan Johnson, and Mattis Tel support the attack, while Dejan Kulusevski creates creatively in midfield. The defense with Porro, Romero, van de Ven, and Udogie strives to avoid mistakes.
Injuries
Bodø/Glimt must do without Daniel Bassi (leg injury). Tottenham is significantly affected by absences of James Maddison (knee), Radu Dragusin (cruciate ligament rupture), and Lucas Bergvall (ankle). The participation of Son Heung-min and Dominic Solanke is uncertain.
Head-to-head encounters
Tottenham has won all four matches against Norwegian teams, including the first leg against Bodø/Glimt by 3-1. For Bodø/Glimt, this is their fourth attempt to secure a victory against an English club – so far without success, including a defeat against Arsenal in 2022.
Match prediction
Bodø/Glimt will try to make up the deficit and keep the match open through home strength and attacking pressure. Tottenham holds a good position from the first leg and are favored despite personnel problems. The visitors will look to exploit errors in the Norwegian play forward and respond with quick counterattacks. An offensively oriented game is to be expected, but the English side should be able to secure at least a point due to their lead. Therefore, we recommend the betting option Double Chance Tottenham, which offers low risk at odds of 1.48.
My tip: Double Chance Tottenham (1.48)
