Tottenham take on the visitors Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of UEFA Europa League semifinals. The match will be played on Thursday, April 1st at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium, London.
Tottenham could still turn their season around. The Spurs have gone far too long without winning a single trophy. Earlier this season, they had a real shot in the League Cup — reaching the semifinals and even taking a 1-0 lead against Liverpool — but they were thrashed in the second leg at Anfield. In the Premier League, things have been disappointing; the club that fell just short of overtaking Aston Villa for a top-four finish last year is now stuck in the bottom half of the table. It’s already been confirmed that Postecoglou will step down at the end of the season. However, they could still save the entire campaign by lifting the Europa League trophy — a long-awaited title that would also bring a Champions League berth. They've taken the knockout rounds seriously, advancing past AZ Alkmaar despite a first-leg defeat, and overcoming Eintracht Frankfurt after drawing at home and winning away. Spurs have now won four of their last five matches in Europe, showing newfound composure under pressure. With key players like Son and Maddison stepping up, they’ve regained confidence on the continental stage.

Bodø/Glimt only recently climbed to the top of Norwegian football, but are already viewed as the undisputed number one club in the country. They proved it once again by successfully defending their Eliteserien title last autumn. Their Champions League dream was ended by Crvena Zvezda, who won the final qualifying round with a 2-0 result in Belgrade after losing the first leg 2-1. But in the Europa League, Knutsen's side performed admirably in the group stage, collecting 14 points, and have now eliminated Twente, Olympiacos (despite being in the middle of their long off-season), and even Lazio. The Italians had made a comeback after a 2-0 first-leg loss but eventually fell in the penalty shootout. Bodø/Glimt are currently unbeaten in six straight Europa League matches, scoring in every single one. Their pace and pressing style make them dangerous even against higher-ranked opposition.
This will be the first-ever meeting between the two clubs. Both sides will be eager to take control of the tie in this first leg, so expect an open and attacking match. A bet on both teams to score looks promising.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
