Looking to salvage their season and win a first European trophy in 41 years, Tottenham Hotspur host Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday night.
Spurs are aiming for some success on the continent following a battering at the base of Liverpool on the weekend, with Superlaget providing unique opposition for the Premier League side in this final-four clash.
We say: Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Bodo/Glimt
Despite coming into this two-legged affair as favourites to progress, Tottenham are unlikely to get the job done the easy way, starting with the hosting of Bodo/Glimt on Thursday night.
Superlaget are searching for their first win over English opposition, and although they are unlikely to claim that triumph in North London, they should still be in tie ahead of the second leg at Aspmyra Stadion.

Aiming to reach a Europa League final hosted at their own headquarters, Athletic Bilbao have one last hurdle to clear, as they take on Manchester United in the semi-finals.
Meeting at San Mames on Thursday evening, both the Basque side and the fallen Premier League giants will seek a lead ahead of next week’s second leg.
We say: Athletic Bilbao 2-1 Manchester United
Manchester United may not pose much threat in the Premier League, but in Europe they are a team transformed, scoring goals right, left and centre.
However, Athletic Club boast La Liga’s best defence and are particularly tough to beat on home turf – so, the hosts should take a slim lead over to England.
