by Bradley Gibbs in Europa League Picks
There's a huge game taking place in North London on Thursday, when Tottenham and Bodo/Glimt clash in the UEFA Europa League semi-final first leg. Having endured a dreadful season domestically, this competition represents one final chance for Ange Postecoglou's side to earn som respect. The hosts will be desperate to make their home advantage pay ahead of what could be a very tricky trip to Norway next week.
The visitors have been playing the role of underdog in this competition for a little while and it seemingly suits them, with the Norwegians champions beating the likes of Lazio and 2024 UEFA Conference League winners Olympiacos to reach this stage. Sure, they're expected to come up short in this first leg, at least, that's what the betting market suggests, but having to shoulder little expectancy may allow them to thrive once again. Let's see what happens at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham - Bodoe/Glimt: Form Analysis
Since reaching the semi-finals of this competition thanks to that hard-fought and strangely disciplined win away in Germany, Thursday's hosts have reverted to being easy to get at. First, they came up short at home to Nottingham Forest, losing by two goals to one, before being humbled by the newly crowned Premier League champions at Anfield, where Postecoglou's side looked easy to breach, and certainly not for the first time this season. Two defeats leading into this game isn't exactly what the doctor ordered.
In contrast, the visitors have performed well domestically since knocking out Lazio in Rome. Following that huge contintental success, they drew with Molde, before a high-scoring cup win was followed by a routine 3-0 league victory over KFUM Oslo. As a result, it is the visiting locker room that will likely be filled with the most confidence on Thursday.

Tottenham & Bodoe/Glimt Squad Analysis
Having started on the bench at the weekend, Dejan Kulusevski, who is a key man for the hosts, is expected to start this game, while the same can be said for Rodrigo Bentancur, who was rested on Sunday. Both Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven should also return to the starting XI, alongside regular right back Pedro Porro. Radu Dragusin remains out, while there are still doubts over the readiness of club captain Son Heung-Min.
For the visitors, there are a couple of notable absentees. Patrick Berg is a key player but will miss this game through suspension, while the same is true for Hakon Evjen. Andreas Helmersen will also be sidelined following his red card against Lazio in the last round.

Our Tottenham vs Bodoe/Glimt Prediction
Quite simply, Ulrik Saltnes is very generously priced to shoot on target in this game. The hosts are expected by the early market to thrive, but we really shouldn't discount Bodo/Glimt from an offensive point of view, and if they can get forward, then someone like Saltnes could easily get shots off. After all, the Norwegian has been shooting plenty in this competition, hitting the target against some very decent teams, and for my money, the early market just does not reflect that accurately enough. Odds of +230 should be taken by those looking for value. Our Tottenham vs Bodo/Glimt Pick: Ulrik Saltnes 1+ Shot on Target.
