Europa League: Bodo/Glimt vs. Tottenham Picks — Visitors to Cruise Through to UEL Final (May 8)

It has been a season to forget for Tottenham, but they could yet salvage their season with Europa League success.

Ange Postecoglou’s side were excellent in the first leg against Bodo/Glimt in North London last week. Brennan Johnson, James Maddison, and Dominic Solanke all scored goals in the 3-1 win.

The defeat leaves the Norwegian side with a mountain to climb, but Ulrik Saltnes’ late consolation could yet give them a fighting chance of producing an improbable comeback.

Bodo/Glimt vs. Tottenham Picks

There has been a lot of talk surrounding Bodo/Glimt’s artificial surface being an advantage for the hosts on Thursday.

However, the fact that they will need to chase the game could set up perfectly for the visitors. For that reason, a win on the night for Spurs looks like a standout selection.
