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.

Woody Johnson signs £190m deal to buy John Textor's shares in Crystal Palace
Woody Johnson has agreed a deal to buy John Textor's stake in Crystal Palace, with a sale to the New York Jets owner likely to be ratified by the Premier League within four weeks. In a move that could be a major boost to Palace's hopes of playing in next season's Europa League, it is understood that Johnson's offer of £190m for Textor's 44.9% stake was signed on Sunday evening in the United States. The 78-year-old, who has owned the Jets since 2000 and missed out on buying Chelsea in 2022 after making a $2bn offer, mustpass the Premier League's owners' and directors' test before he can complete the purchase. But it is understood that with Palace under pressure from Uefa to comply with its regulations on multi club ownership, the league is expected to act swiftly to aid their cause. A decision on the FA Cup winners' participation in the Europa League is due this week, although it is believed this latest development will be looked on favourably by Uefa. Textor has come under increasing pressure from Palace's chair, Steve Parish, and the other co-owners – Textor's fellow Americans Josh Harris and David Blitzer – to complete the sale as quickly as possible. The four Palace co-owners were part of the delegation that attended a meeting at Uefa's headquarters in Nyon this month and argued that Textor, the majority shareholder in the French club Lyon, who have also qualified for the Europa League, does not have a decisive influence at Selhurst Park despite being the largest shareholder. It is expected that Johnson's arrival should clear the way for Oliver Glasner's side to take their place in the league stage. It remains to be seen whether the former US ambassador to the UK, who has made no secret of his desire to buy an English football club, has his sights on a full takeover. Harris and Blitzer, who bought stakes worth a combined 36% in 2015 and have portfolios of investments across a number of sports, are believed to be willing to sell, owing to concerns about the ballooning costs of building a new main stand, which some sources are predicting could reach up to £240m. Textor, who failed with an audacious attempt at a takeover of Palace in May in a last-ditch attempt to assume control, is understood to have been reluctant to leave the club in which he has invested about £180m since buying a 40% stake for almost £90m in August 2021. Yet he had a major falling-out with Parish, who owns just over 10% but is the executive chair of the managing company that is in charge of Palace and retains the casting vote, over resistance to embracing his Eagle Football network that also includes the South American champions Botafogo and the Belgian side Daring Brussels. Textor is expected to turn his attention to another English club. The former Palace owner Simon Jordan revealed last week that he recommended to Textor buying the Championship side Sheffield Wednesday, who were last week hit with a ban on transfer spending until 2027 last week for the repeated failure to pay players' wages. 'I was talking to John Textor the other day, and if he comes out of Palace, I was saying to him that is the football club you should be buying if you want to buy another English club,' said Jordan.

BREAKING NEWS John Textor finally SELLS his Crystal Palace stake as New York Jets owner Woody Johnson invests - in boost for Eagles' Europa League hopes
John Textor has sold his company's stake in Crystal Palace to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson – in a move that is set to clear the way for the club play in Europe next season. The American businessman's Eagle Football Holdings held 43 per cent in the south London club, which qualified for the competition for the first time after a historic victory in the FA Cup Final. However, as Mail Sport revealed, their participation in the Europa League was thrown into jeopardy thanks to Textor's ownership of French side Lyon, and potential issues with UEFA's rules on multi-club ownership. Palace officials, including Textor, jetted to Switzerland earlier this month for a crunch summit with UEFA officials in an attempt to convince them that because Textor only held 25 per cent of voting rights he was not in a position of influence at Selhurst Park. Textor told Mail Sport outside the meeting that he was attempting to sell his company's stake in the club, with Johnson – a former US ambassador to the UK – among the front runners. And now a deal for around £190m has gone through, subject to Premier League approval. UEFA declined to comment, but the hope is that Palace have now done enough to ensure they will not be booted out of the Europa League. Those in Switzerland are aware of what could be a breakthrough development. It is thought that Johnson will be subject to the same set-up as Textor's firm, in that despite owning 43 per cent of the club, he will only have a quarter share of the voting rights, along with chairman Steve Parish, and US investors Josh Harris and David Blitzer. Blitzer's ownership of Danish club Brondby was another potential sticking point should Palace have been 'demoted' from the Europa League to the Europa Conference. A decision from UEFA is expected by the end of this month. Johnson, 78, is an heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical empire, a Republican donor and is estimated to be worth around £7.38bn. In 2022 he missed out in a bid to buy Chelsea and is known to be a close friend and financial backer of US President Donald Trump.

Johnson is known as a philanthropist, especially in the field of medical research and, via the Jets, has donated to Ukraine. Is wife, Suzanne, grew up in a Ukranian neighbourhood of New York. Johnson has controlled the Jets since the year 2000. Under his ownership, they are yet to win a Super Bowl and have gone 14 seasons without appearing in the play-offs, the longest drought in the sport.
