Analysis and prediction for Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham: Spurs escape defeat.

Latest team news for Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham

Tottenham's James Maddison was forced off in the first leg due to a knee injury and is expected to be out for the rest of the season. Radu Dragusin (ankle injury) and Lucas Bergvall (ankle injury) are also unavailable.

However, manager Postecoglou hopes Dominic Solanke (thigh injury) and Son Heung-min (foot) will be fit to return. Otherwise, Richarlison and Brennan Johnson could partner with either Mathys Tel or Wilson Odobert – who scored in the draw against West Ham.

Dejan Kulusevski is likely to replace Maddison in the creative role, partnering with Rodrigo Bentancur and one of the two midfielders, Yves Bissouma or Pape Matar Sarr, in the center. The defense will be the quartet of Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Destiny Udogie – the same lineup that started the first leg.

On the Bodo/Glimt side, Daniel Bassi remains absent due to a leg injury. However, coach Knutsen will welcome back captain Patrick Berg, Hakon Evjen, and Andreas Helmersen after serving suspensions in the first leg.

Berg and Evjen are almost certain to start, supporting Ulrik Saltnes in midfield, replacing Jens Petter Hauge and Sondre Brunstad Fet. Helmersen will most likely be a substitute for Kasper Hogh – who is leading the Europa League scoring charts this season with 7 goals, level with Bruno Fernandes and Ayoub El Kaabi.

Knutsen will consider keeping Isak Dybvik Maatta on the right wing or moving Hauge up to play as a striker alongside Hogh and Ole Didrik Blomberg. The four-man defense of Fredrik Sjovold, Villads Nielsen, Jostein Gundersen, and Fredrik Bjorkan will most likely remain unchanged.

Latest football match prediction: Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham

Brennan Johnson opened the scoring for Tottenham in the first leg after just 38 seconds, and goals from James Maddison and Dominic Solanke helped the English side build a three-goal lead within 61 minutes. However, a late consolation goal from Ulrik Saltnes of Bodo/Glimt rekindled hope for the Norwegian champions.

Despite Spurs being closer to their first major trophy in 17 years, manager Ange Postecoglou still complained about the "negative atmosphere" surrounding the club. They are forced to rely on winning the Europa League to secure a place in next season's Champions League, due to their poor domestic form.

Tottenham have lost 19 of their 35 Premier League matches this season. After three consecutive defeats, they only managed a 1-1 draw with West Ham last weekend, dropping to 16th place and trailing the top half of the table by 14 points.

Postecoglou – who had declared earlier in the season that he “always wins in his second year” – wants to improve on Tottenham’s poor away record, with only two wins in their last ten away games across all competitions (one draw, seven defeats). However, they did beat Eintracht Frankfurt and kept a rare clean sheet in their last Europa League away trip, securing their place in the semi-finals.

Spurs haven't won two consecutive away games in European competition since November 2013, but they currently have a perfect record against Norwegian teams, including last week's win against Bodo/Glimt – their best record against any country.

With a two-goal lead from the first leg at home, Tottenham have reason to believe they can advance. In the history of the Europa League since its renaming in the 2009–10 season, only 9 out of 92 teams have failed to progress after winning by two goals in the first leg.

Regardless of the outcome in the second leg, Bodo/Glimt has made history as the first Norwegian club to reach the semi-finals of a major continental tournament.

“Superlaget” have a full week to rest and prepare for the rematch against Tottenham. They are also aiming for their first victory against an English side, after losing all four previous encounters – including a 0-1 home defeat against Arsenal in the 2022–23 Europa League.

Including last week's defeat, Bodo/Glimt have lost 7 of their 11 away Europa League matches since the 2022–23 season – second only to Roma in terms of losses. They also have the lowest away win rate (9%) among the 19 teams that have played at least 8 away matches during this period. However, their home ground is a reliable stronghold for them.

Indeed, Bodo/Glimt have won all five of their most recent home matches in the Europa League, scoring a total of 15 goals, and recently defeated Lazio – the group winners of the round of 36 – 2-0 in the second leg of the quarter-finals, before overcoming their opponents on penalties.

In fact, they have won all eight of their most recent home games in all competitions, including the opening two matches of the 2025 Eliteserien season with the same 3-0 scoreline. Coach Kjetil Knutsen has encouraged his players to "give it their all" if they want to make history.
