Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham Hotspur Bet Builder Tips: Hogh stars in 12/1 shot

Tottenham travel to Norway to face Bodo/Glimt in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League semi-final on Thursday (20:00, TNT Sports 2), determined not to lose the two-goal advantage they built in the first leg in London last week.

Read on for my Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham Hotspur Bet Builder tips.

Double Chance - Bodo/Glimt or Draw (90 mins)

Tottenham dominated the first leg but the late goal by Bodo/Glimt's Ulrik Saltnes, which made the final score 3-1, kept the tie alive and Spurs now face a tricky test in Norway.

Bodo/Glimt play on an artificial surface in a stadium that holds fewer than 9,000 fans in the Arctic Circle and the Premier League side could be well out of their comfort zone.

The Norwegian side have had some great results at the Aspmyra Stadium in this competition, winning 2-0 at home to Serie A side Lazio in the first leg of their quarter-final, having won their previous two home Europa League matches 3-0 against Olympiakos and 5-2 against FC Twente.

They have also beaten Maccabi Tel-Aviv, Besiktas and Porto in Norway on their way to making history as the first Norwegian side to ever make the semi-finals of a major European competition.

Tottenham were well on top for most of the first leg, but aside from their impressive 1-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in their quarter-final, they have not shone on the road this season, losing 11 of their 18 away games in the Premier League and going down 1-0 to AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands in the round of 16.

The home side look worth backing to claim at least a draw in the second leg.

Over 2.5 goals (90 mins)

Eleven of Bodo/Glimt's last 13 Europa League matches have produced at least three goals and five of Tottenham's last eight games in all competitions have gone over 2.5 goals as well.

There is no point in the home side sitting back given their two-goal deficit, so expect them to throw everything they have at the Premier League team in a bid to make an early breakthrough.

Bodo/Glimt scored in seven of their eight League Phase matches and have also found the net in each of their first seven knockout matches.

Both teams to score (90 mins)

Both teams are used to playing in games that see them both score and concede with goals at both ends in seven of Tottenham's last eight matches.

Both teams have scored in 10 of Bodo/Glimt's last 12 fixtures and while those clean sheets came against Olympiakos and Lazio at home, the evidence of the first leg suggests they will find Tottenham's talented forwards harder to keep out.

Kasper Hogh to score first (90 mins)

If Bodo/Glimt are to score the first goal of the match to really put Tottenham under pressure, their talented forward Kasper Hogh is a prime candidate to supply it.

The 24-year-old Dane is being monitored by clubs across Europe after scoring seven goals in this competition, which puts him level with Ayoub El Kaabi of Olympiakos and Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes at the top of the Europa League top-scorer list.

Hogh scored five of those goals in three home games against Maccabi Tel-Aviv, FC Twente and Olympiakos and already has four in four appearances in the new Norwegian season.
