Aiming to avoid another trophyless season, Tottenham Hotspur will welcome Bodo/Glimt to north London for the first leg of their UEFA Europa League semi-final on Thursday night, May 1. Read on as SportsCasting explores how to watch the Europa League semi-final between Tottenham and Bodo/Glimt, along with the match preview, potential lineups, and score prediction. 

After finishing fifth in the Premier League rankings last season, Tottenham Hotspur were expected to push for a top-four finish. Ange Postecoglou also made some bold claims in the early days of the season, highlighting his track record of winning trophies in his second season.

Unfortunately for Spurs fans, Postecoglou has not managed to deliver this time, with his team inching towards one of their worst-ever seasons. The Lilywhites have amassed just 37 points from 34 Premier League outings this season, ing 11 wins, 4 draws, and 19 defeats. They are currently sitting in 16th place in the Premier League standings.

Like Manchester United, who will face Athletic Bilbao in the other semi-final on Thursday, Tottenham Hotspur’s hope of salvation lies with the Europa League. But beating Bodo/Glimt over two legs will be far from straightforward.

With Kasper Waarts Hogh firing on all cylinders — 7 goals in 12 Europa matches — Bodo/Glimt have every right to fancy their chances of getting a positive result against the struggling Spurs.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Bodo/Glimt: Prediction

At home, Tottenham Hotspur will start as favourites against Bodo/Glimt. However, considering how lacklustre they have been this season, both home and away, we cannot help but back Bodo/Glimt to take something from the first leg of the semi-final.
