Event Preview

Tottenham have endured a miserable campaign in the Premier League this term, but the Europa League presents the team with a route back into the Champions League. Spurs could yet finish the EPL season as low as 17th in the standings, but their best performances have come in the European competition.

There was further evidence of that in the previous round of the competition, as Tottenham claimed a 2-1 aggregate success against Eintracht Frankfurt. Spurs secured their passage from the penalty spot, as Dominic Solanke netted the crucial winner in Germany.

The success means that Spurs will be playing in their first semi-final in Europe since reaching the Champions League final under Mauricio Pochettino.

Bodo/Glimt produced one of the most famous Europa League shocks in the previous round, as they claimed a dramatic penalty shootout success against Italian giants Lazio.

Despite being taken to extra-time, the ten-men of Bodo secured their spot in this stage of the competition following Andreas Helmersen’s effort with just ten minutes remaining. Victory was then assured following penalties. The victory ensures that Bodo are an opponent that Tottenham can ill-afford to overlook.

Tottenham vs. Bodo/Glimt Picks

Tottenham were well below the standards required on Sunday, as they were thumped at Anfield by Liverpool. However, this fixture could define their season, and the long-term future of their head coach. We expect Spurs to take a first-leg lead back to Norway.
