Bodo/Glimt vs. Tottenham Hotspur: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

Tottenham Hotspur are in the driving seat after their 3-1 win over Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of this UEFA Europa League semifinal tie.

However, the Norwegian outfit tends to save their best performances for their home fans, and we should expect fireworks when the two sides reconvene in Bodo on Thursday.

The hosts of the second leg have won their last eight competitive games at the Aspmyra Stadion and their last defeat in front of their own fans was against Qarabag back in November.

Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglou's struggling Spurs side have won only two of their last 10 away matches and could be in trouble in the Arctic Circle on Thursday.

It is all to play for in the fight to face either Manchester United or Athletic Bilbao in the final on May 21, and here are our expert's tips for this semifinal second leg matchup.

Bodo/Glimt vs. Tottenham Hotspur betting picks and predictions

Over 2.5 goals & both teams to score (-125)

A total of 51 goals have been scored across Bodo/Glimt's 15 UEFA Europa League games this season, and with a two-goal deficit to overturn against a leaky Tottenham side, another high-scoring affair is expected in Norway.

The Norwegians have failed to score in just one of their UEFA Europa League games this term and both teams have scored in 12 of their 15 assignments, while Spurs head to Bodo having scored six and conceded nine in their last four competitive fixtures.

Over 2.5 goals has been a winner in three of Spurs' four games and in eight of their 13 ties in this competition this season, and with only one clean sheet in six Europa League away games, they are likely to concede against a home side who will be on the front foot from the outset.

The hosts' imperative to attack will leave holes for Tottenham — who have only failed to score once in this competition — to exploit, though, so the neutrals should have plenty to look forward to on Thursday.

Ulrik Saltnes to score anytime (+350)

Midfielder Ulrik Saltnes scored Bodo/Glimt's only goal of the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last week and the in-form 32-year-old could inspire his team again on Thursday.

After notching seven league goals in last year's Norway Eliteserien campaign, Saltnes has already managed three goals in just four appearances this term and he grabbed a brace in the last round as Bodo/Glimt beat Lazio at home.

His goal last week took his tally to six goals in his last six competitive matches, so he could be a big threat from midfield for the underdogs.

Rodrigo Bentancur to be booked (+200)

Rodrigo Bentancur has been booked a Tottenham Hotspur-high 12 times in all competitions this season and he looks a good price to pick up another caution as he attempts to break up Bodo/Glimt's build-up play on Thursday.

He was rested for Tottenham's weekend draw with West Ham and was most recently booked against Eintracht Frankfurt in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League quarter-final.

That makes it five yellow cards in Bentancur's last 12 competitive starts for club and country, with the Uruguay international committing 17 fouls in total across this period.
