Bodo/Glimt will welcome Tottenham to Norway on Thursday, 8 May, for the second leg of their Europa League semi-final.
The winners of the tie will go on to Bilbao in two weeks' time to face the winners of Manchester and Athletic Bilbao, and it is Tottenham who are in the driving seat going into the second leg.
The English side hold a 3-1 lead on aggregate, but Bodo/Glimt are a different animal at home, so this tie is far from done.

Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham prediction: The hosts to turn the tie around
Key Stats
- Bodo/Glimt have won their last eight matches at home in all competitions.
- Tottenham have failed to win three of their last five European away matches.
- More than three goals have been scored in four of Bodo/Glimt's last five matches in all competitions.
Correct score prediction: Bodo/Glimt 3-1 Tottenham
Bodo/Glimt have failed to score three or more goals at home on just one occasion since December, and that should be of great concern to Tottenham, who are leaky at the best of times. Bodo's late goal in the first leg gives them momentum coming into this one, and they will believe they can get the job done.

- HOME: 9/5 (2.80) – 35.7%
- DRAW: 27/10 (3.70) – 27%
- AWAY: 13/10 (2.30) – 43.5%

Bodo/Glimt preview: Suspended trio to return
It's all positive news for Bodo/Glimt ahead of the second leg. For starters, they are still in the tie, which is all they were hoping to get out of last week's trip to London and on top of that, they now welcome back three key players from suspension. Patrick Berg, Hakon Evjen and Andreas Helmersen all missed out last week, but all three men will come straight back into the starting XI on Thursday.
Predicted lineup: Haikin (GK), Sjovold, Bjortuft, Gundersen, Bjorkan, Evjen, Berg, Saltnes, Blomberg, Helmersen, Hauge

Tottenham preview: Maddison to miss out
Tottenham are dealing with some fairly significant injury problems ahead of the second leg, which is only going to fuel Norwegian optimism. James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall have both been ruled out for the rest of the season, while Son Heung-Min is in a race against time to be fit. In positive news, Dominic Solanke should be okay to play after picking up an injury in the first leg.
Predicted lineup: Vicario (GK), Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Bentancur, Bissouma, Kulusevski, Johnson, Tel, Solanke

Player to watch: Dominic Solanke
Dominic Solanke is set to be fit for the return leg on Thursday night which is a big boost for Ange Postecoglou as he is without Son Heung-Min once again. Without his captain, Solanke is by far Tottenham's biggest goal threat, and he has already scored a few important goals in their run to the semi-finals. He may need to step up if things go south in Norway.
