STAR FOOTBALL PREVIEW Thurs: Bodo/Glimt v Tottenham

Tottenham have one foot in the Europa League final, but they could be in for a very nervy night near the Arctic Circle against Bodo/Glimt this evening, writes WILLIAM KEDJANYI.

Last week Spurs continued to defy their dreadful domestic form with a comprehensive and well deserved 3-1 success that could have been even better given their dominance (won shot count 24-3, shots on target count 7-1, and xG count 3.06 – 0.26), but Ulrik Saltnes’s 83rd minute consultation goal, which was Glimt’s only effort on target, was a late sting in the tale that gives tonight’s hosts hope.

Gilmt have defied the odds to reach this stage, and their home record has been the bedrock of their progress. At home, they have beaten Maccabi Tel-Aviv, FC Twente, last season’s Conference League winners Olympiakos and Lazio by at least two goals, and they will also field a stronger side tonight with Patrick Berg, Hakon Evjen and Andreas Helmersen all back from suspension.

Spurs’ away record all season has left something to be desired, and even in Europ,e they’ve been beaten at Galatasaray and AZ Alkmaar whilst they’ve also suffered the blow of losing James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall to injury as well.

Ange Postecoglou’s men looked extremely uncomfortable when playing at non-league Tamworth in the FA Cup, where they were taken to extra time and won due to fitness levels and bench strength as much as anything else, and the pitch tonight could play a big factor to boot here.

Given the game state, Gilmt’s home record and team news – along with a free weekend to prepare for this game – and Spurs struggles on the road, the 6/4 on a home win makes the most appeal of the match options tonight with starsports.bet.
