Glimt bet keeps delivering
Bodo/Glimt are prolific scorers, particularly at home where they have a number of advantages. The Aspmyra Stadion is located within the Arctic Circle, holds just over 8,000 people and features an artificial playing surface.
In seven home games in the Europa League this season they have scored a total of 19 goals, which works out at an average of 2.7 per match.
In six of those fixtures, the Norwegian side have scored at least twice. Tottenham, meanwhile, have conceded in nine of their last 10 away matches at an average of 2.1 goals per game.
Attacking teams can provide fast start
Tottenham took just 38 seconds to score in the first leg, Brennan Johnson heading home to give Ange Postecoglou's side the lead.
It will be Bodo/Glimt who will be looking to get off to a fast start on Thursday as they bid to overturn a 3-1 deficit. In five of their seven home games in the Europa League they've scored in the first half.
Spurs have scored in the opening 45 minutes in six of their last eight matches across all competitions. The odds on goals from both teams in the first half look generous considering the hosts will want to score early to get back into the tie.
Home hopes rest on Hogh
If Bodo/Glimt are to score, there is a strong chance that Kasper Hogh will be the man who delivers.
The Dane is the joint-top scorer in this season's Europa League with seven goals and six of them have come in home games.
Hogh has scored four times in as many appearances in the 2025 Eliteserien, which kicked off at the end of March, and is also likely to be on penalty-taking duties.

Nottingham Forest write to Uefa over Crystal Palace Europa League concerns
Nottingham Forest have written to Uefa to express their concerns about Crystal Palace qualifying for the Europa League with a decision expected by the end of this month as to whether they should be expelled. There have been suggestions that Brighton & Hove Albion, who would enter the Conference League in place of Forest if they are therefore promoted, have also complained to European football's governing body. But Telegraph Sport understands this is not the case. Uefa are set to inform Palace whether they are in breach of their multi-club ownership rules by June 30 – although the matter may then be taken to the Court of Arbitration for Sport which would delay a final verdict. The FA Cup winners met Uefa officials last Tuesday in a two-hour meeting in an attempt to avoid being barred from European competition because John Textor, the American businessman who has a 43 per cent stake in the club, also owns French club Lyon, who have also qualified for the Europa League. Palace insist there are no sharing of information or staff or facilities with the French side. The club argue that despite Textor's shareholding he has no say in the day-to-day running and has just 25 per cent of voting rights. Indeed Textor has previously spoken about his annoyance at the lack of say he has at Palace and has been trying to sell his shares. Textor reiterated this after last week's meeting in Nyon. However, Forest have now written a letter to Uefa expressing their position and asking for clarification over whether Palace will be involved. However, in a further complication, Palace's Europa League place could also depend on whether Uefa decides to allow Lyon to take part in the competition next season. Uefa's Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) disqualified Lyon from European competitions in December but allowed them to continue after the club met certain demands. However, Lyon are being 'carefully monitored' by the CFCB and if they are deemed to be in breach of a settlement agreement they could be disqualified from next season's Europa League in any case which would automatically earn Palace a reprieve. On the other hand Lyon's involvement, if Palace are thrown out, will heighten the likelihood of the latter turning to CAS. At the same time Forest could also turn to the Swiss-based adjudicators if they are not satisfied with Uefa's decision. It, therefore, appears to be a legal minefield. Palace may well have fallen foul of Uefa's rules because clubs have to establish separate ownership structures before March 1 if they hoped to play in the same competition in the following season. Matters are further complicated because one option for Uefa to consider is to demote Palace to the Conference League as a form of punishment. That is believed to be unlikely, however, as it may lead to further appeals. Palace have strongly refuted any wrongdoing and have attempted to comply with Uefa's rules as quickly as possible having won the first trophy in their history. Evangelos Marinakis, the Forest owner, who also owns Greek club Olympiacos, diluted his stake by placing his shares in a blind trust to ensure there was no conflict when it appeared they would qualify for the Champions League.

Ange Postecoglou shows true colours with touching private message to Tottenham star after being brutally sacked
ANGE POSTECOGLOU sent a heartwarming text message to Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma. The Aussie boss was sacked on Friday - just 16 days after leading Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years as they beat Manchester United in the Europa League final. 4 4 However, a woeful Premier League campaign which saw the club finish 17th and record 22 losses meant his position was ultimately untenable. Many of the Tottenham squad - including captain Son Heung-min and James Maddison - were quick to post emotional messages of gratitude to Postecoglou. And Bissouma has now revealed his own WhatsApp exchange with his former manager on Snapchat. The conversation begins with Postecoglou writing: "Hi Biss. Sorry I missed your call. I am very proud of you. "It was an honour to share a dressing room with you and appreciate how much you believed in what we were trying to achieve. "I wish you only the best for the future. I will always be following. Much love from my family to yours.' Bissouma replied just over an hour later with: "Thank you gaffer and thank you really much for everything on and off the pitch I'll always be grateful. "The way you believed me and trusted me was incredible. I'm gonna miss you but it's football life. "Got a lot to be said but I think you know what I'm thinking about you already so I'm just wishing you all the best for the future and may God protect you and your family. #bigboss love." The exchange ended with the 59-year-old responding: "Always by your side Biss 🙏." BBC star shares shock theory as to why Tottenham waited exactly 16 days after Europa League win to sack Ange Postecoglou 4 Bissouma was one of the best players on the pitch during Spurs' Europa League final win 16 days before Postecoglou was axed, and has the former Celtic boss saved as 'Big Ange' in his phone. The heartfelt farewell exchange indicates how popular Postecoglou was with his players who are reportedly furious with the decision to sack him. SunSport exclusively revealed that Brentford manager Thomas Frank has agreed to replace Postecoglou. Spurs will have to pay a hefty compensation fee for the Dane, and are also interested in taking Bryan Mbeumo with him. Frank is set to be Bissouma's third manager since he joined Antonio Conte's Spurs from Brighton in June 2022.
