Tottenham vs Bodo/Glimt preview
It’s boom or bust for Tottenham Hotspur as they face Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final – a tie that could define their entire season.
For Spurs and under-pressure boss Ange Postecoglou, this is a must-win scenario.
After a dire domestic campaign, Europa League glory is their last hope of salvaging some pride – and, crucially, securing a coveted place in next season’s Champions League.
It would also mark the club’s first piece of silverware since lifting the League Cup back in 2008.
Tottenham’s Premier League form has been nothing short of disastrous. Anchored in 16th and with 19 league defeats to their name, they are guaranteed to finish no higher than 11th.
Everything now hinges on success in Europe.
Despite their domestic woes, Spurs can draw confidence from their strong continental form. They are unbeaten in their last 19 European fixtures, winning 15 and drawing four, and have never lost to Norwegian opposition in four previous encounters.
However, their current form is worrying.
Sunday’s 5–1 mauling at the hands of Liverpool at Anfield was their third straight Premier League defeat, casting further doubt on Postecoglou’s future in north London.
The good news for Ange is that Bodo/Glimt arrive in London with a mounting injury crisis. The Norwegian champions are already without three key players due to suspension – including captain Patrick Berg, Hakon Evjen and Andreas Helmersen – while defenders Odin Bjortuft and Ole Blomberg are doubts.
Though their domestic season has only just begun, Bodo are unbeaten in their opening four league matches, winning three.
They’ve also impressed in Europe, finishing ninth in the group stage standings before seeing off Besiktas and Porto, then edging past Olympiakos and Lazio – the latter via penalties – to reach this stage.

Tottenham vs Bodo/Glimt preview betting tips and predictions
Dom delight
Tottenham’s talisman Dominic Solanke has made a significant impact in this season’s Europa League, registering three goals and four assists across 10 appearances.
The 27-year-old striker is hitting form at the right time, having scored in each of his last two starts – including a decisive winner against Eintracht Frankfurt and the opening goal at Anfield over the weekend.
Perhaps most tellingly, nine of Solanke’s 13 goals this campaign have come at home, a stat that bodes well as Spurs prepare to face a depleted Bodo/Glimt side.

Kasper
If Bodo/Glimt are to find the net – and recent form suggests they might, with Tottenham failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their last six home outings – the smart money is on Kasper Hogh to make the difference.
The 24-year-old forward is the Europa League’s joint-top scorer with seven goals in 12 appearances, and he heads to North London full of confidence after bagging a brace at the weekend. Bodo/Glimt, meanwhile, have scored in each of their last 12 away games across all competitions.
