Bodo/Glimt take on the visitors Tottenham in the second leg of UEFA Europa League semifinals. First leg result: 1-3. The match will be played on Thursday, April 8th at Aspmyra Stadion (Bodø).
Bodø/Glimt have become a serious force in recent years that everyone must reckon with. The Yellow Horde have struggled in just one area. They still haven’t managed a proper Champions League run — last summer they passed a few qualifying rounds and beat Crvena Zvezda 2-1 at home, only to lose 0-2 in Belgrade. Still, in their domestic Eliteserien, they remain the undisputed leaders, defending their title again last autumn. And in the Europa League, the Scandinavian club's continued success no longer surprises anyone. This season, they not only reached the knockout stage again but also eliminated both Twente and Olympiacos — and did so without the typical home advantage of the harsh Norwegian winter. Against Lazio, they nearly blew a 2-0 first-leg lead, but advanced on penalties after a tough return match in Rome. That win showcased their resilience under pressure. In London, however, all they could manage was a consolation goal.

Tottenham have become something of a punchline due to their long trophy drought — Harry Kane even left for Bayern to finally win silverware. They also failed to return to the Champions League last season, losing out to Aston Villa by a few points in the race for fourth place in the Premier League. This season, while they’re not in danger of relegation, their mid-table position is disappointing for a club of their stature. After being humiliated by Liverpool in the second leg of the League Cup semifinal, it's no surprise Postecoglou is expected to leave this summer. Still, he could emulate what Mourinho once did at Manchester United — salvaging a troubled season with a Europa League title. That would bring both a trophy and a ticket to next year’s Champions League. So far, Spurs have handled the playoff stage well, winning the return legs against AZ and Eintracht after early setbacks. Against the Norwegians, they’ll aim to stay composed and protect their advantage.
The clubs played their first-ever competitive match last Thursday. For the English side, the main goal is to preserve their advantage, so they’ll play with control. We expect a match with under 3.0 total goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
