- Competition: Europa League
- Date: 1st April 2025
- Kick-off: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
- Venue:Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
The only way Tottenham can give their fans something to celebrate this season is in the Europa League, and Postecoglou's men will give it their all when they host Bodo/Glimt on Thursday night.
Spurs booked their place in this semi-final tie with a 2-1 aggregate win over Eintracht Frankfurt, while visitors Bodo/Glimt beat Lazio 3-2 on penalties after an entertaining draw.
The hosts were tasked with preventing Liverpool from celebrating their Premier League title win last weekend, but they failed miserably. Spurs extended their league losing streak to three games and also conceded four or more goals for the second time in three Premier League games. Tottenham now sit just two places above the relegation zone, but Postecoglou will take heart from the fact that his side have avoided defeat in all their six Europa League home games this season.
Bodo/Glimt, meanwhile, have won each of the last two Norwegian top-flight campaigns and sit second in the current campaign. By eliminating Lazio - who finished top of the Europa League group stage - the visitors proved that they can cause problems for any opponent and will fancy their chances against struggling Spurs.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Bodø/Glimt betting tips: Over 2.5 goals
One of the main reasons for Tottenham's poor form this season has been their defence. The Lilly Whites have kept just one clean sheet in their last 13 games in all competitions, conceding almost two goals per game in that time. Four of their last six games ended with three or more goals scored.
Bodo/Glimt don't have the best defensive away record in Europe either, having conceded two or more goals in each of their last three Europa League matches outside Norwagian soil. All three matches ended with more than two goals scored.
