Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham in Europa League (London Standard)
Tottenham travel to the Arctic Circle this week to finish the job against Bodo/Glimt in their Europa League semi-final.
A 3-1 first-leg victory puts Spurs firmly in the driving seat to reach their first European final in six years, but the hosts' artificial pitch could prove a real leveller on Thursday evening.
Glimt's home record is impressive, and Spurs will have to again raise their standards if they are to avoid a humbling defeat.

Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham team news
Bodo/Glimt will be able to call upon Andreas Helmersen, Patrick Berg and Hakon Evjen, who were all suspended for the first leg. Key defender Odin Bjortuft, who missed the first leg through injury, will be assessed ahead of the game.
Tottenham will be without James Maddison, who could miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, but both Dominic Solanke and Heung-min Son are in contention.
Dejan Kulusevski is likely to come in for the second leg, having started the first on the bench, while Wilson Odobert is pushing to start after scoring against West Ham at the weekend.

Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham prediction
Much has been made of Glimt's artificial pitch, and rightly so. Their record in front of their own fans cannot be ignored; just one defeat in seven in the competition this season with a +11 goal difference. Spurs' only other experience of playing on an artificial pitch this season saw them taken to extra time in the FA Cup by non-league Tamworth.

Their late first-leg consolation will give Glimt real hope of completing a stunning comeback, and an early goal in the second leg could really put the frighteners into the Spurs squad. Ange Postecoglou will be telling his players to likely keep it tight for the opening stages, gaps will open up as the hosts push for the goals they need. One Spurs goal could kill the tie.
Bodo/Glimt 2-1 Tottenham
Head to head (h2h) history and results

Arne Slot gave telling response to Thomas Frank compliment as Tottenham appointment nears
Tottenham is closing in on the appointment of Thomas Frank as the club's new manager after parting ways with Ange Postecoglou last week. Spurs took the decision to move forward without the Australian manager, despite the club winning its first piece of silverware since 2008 by beating Manchester United in the Europa League final last month. Ultimately, Tottenham's league form cost Postecoglou his job, as the North London outfit finished in 17th position after losing 22 of its 38 Premier League games. Advertisement Spurs has identified Frank as the man to replace Postecoglou, and the Danish coach is somebody who Liverpool boss Arne Slot has a lot of respect for. READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Florian Wirtz medical, Milos Kerkez talks, Darwin Nunez future READ MORE: How Liverpool should spend $171M if Florian Wirtz transfer collapses After Frank described Liverpool as "the best team in the world" in January, Slot said: "His (Frank's) opinion means something to me because he has shown at Brentford how well he has done for so many years without spending crazy amounts of money." Frank's exact quote about Liverpool was: 'We just played City and Arsenal and now Liverpool, in a short amount of time. For me they're a level above the two teams. They're complete. Advertisement 'Their work ethic, the way they track back, are good indicators. They're so good all over the pitch. Such a threat going forward. These are really, really good. It's the best team in the Premier League and the world. They're huge favorites to win it (the title)." While Slot had some kind words to say about Frank in January, the soon-to-be new Spurs manager was not alone in receiving praise from the Reds' head coach: Slot also showered the axed Postecoglou with praise ahead of Liverpool's Carabao Cup semi-final meeting with Tottenham earlier this year. 'They (Tottenham) have always been a certain brand of football for me and have a certain identity," Slot said. "I think Ange Postecoglou gives them that identity back completely. Ange is doing great work over there. I hope this is seen a bit more. I also hope, hope, hope that he wins a trophy. 'I'm completely a fan of his team for the Europa League because people always talk about trophies and that it's so important. For his brand of football and his style, it is so much more important and if he can combine that with winning something that would be so good for football in general because people can stop talking about it's too attacking or whatever. How on earth can you play too [much] attacking football?'

Why Arne Slot rejected Tottenham as Liverpool rival closes in on Thomas Frank
Tottenham is in the process of appointing a new manager after parting ways with Ange Postecoglou last week, and Brentford's Thomas Frank is the club's No.1 choice to take over. Spurs are confident that a deal will be wrapped up this week after approaching Brentford for Frank, who has a $13.5 million release clause in his contract at the Gtech Community Stadium. Advertisement But had Tottenham managed to convince Arne Slot to move to North London two years ago, the club might not have found itself looking for a new manager at all considering how well the Dutchman has settled in on Merseyside. Spurs talked to Slot in 2023, when the club was looking for a replacement for Antonio Conte, but he turned the job down in favor of remaining at Feyenoord for another season. READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Florian Wirtz latest as Reds prepare to complete deal READ MORE: Darwin Nunez transfer deadline emerges thanks to Viktor Gyokeres' snub Explaining his decision at the time, Slot suggested that he was influenced by wanting to manage Feyenoord in the 2023-24 Champions League. Advertisement 'The decisive factor was playing the Champions League,' Slot said. 'The fantastic work with the staff and the players, the fact that I'm having a great time privately and being able to build on the past two seasons. 'I didn't know what would happen [with Tottenham]. I weighed everything up, including whether the people who work with me would want to come with me." However, addressing Spurs' interest in him again when speaking earlier this year, Slot said that his decision to snub the job was actually heavily influenced by his family. "Not going to Spurs was 99 per cent a family decision," Slot said. "I even told my kids they could easily visit me in London during the school holidays. My daughter said that during the school holidays, she wanted to spend time with her friends.

At Spurs and another club — I won't mention the name myself — I had to give a presentation, explain my tactical approach, and compete against other coaches." Advertisement Slot added: "When Liverpool came along last season, everything was completely different. Nothing surpasses Liverpool. I did tell my agent, Rafaella Pimenta, that I wanted to know whether I was the only candidate. If that hadn't been the case, I don't know if I would have gone through with it. "Liverpool acted completely differently. Sporting director Richard Hughes came to visit me and I was surprised by how much he already knew about me. "A few months earlier, (technical director) Julian Ward had called me. I knew him from the time when he was responsible for Liverpool's loaned players. "He told me he was doing a tour around Europe, visiting clubs. He asked if he could come and watch me. Later, I realized that his visit served a different purpose. It shows how meticulous Liverpool is in their approach."
