Ange Postecoglou’s men hold a commanding 3-1 lead from the first leg in London and will look to finish the job under the freezing glare of the Arctic Circle. It’s been a season of sharp contrasts for Spurs: while their domestic form has been underwhelming—currently 16th in the Premier League—they have shown surprising resilience and consistency on the European stage.
Bodo/Glimt, on the other hand, have already made history by becoming the first Norwegian club to reach a major European semi-final. Knocking out Lazio in the quarter-finals was no small feat, but overcoming a two-goal deficit against Spurs is a mountain even higher than the surrounding snow-covered peaks. Their domestic campaign seems to be paying the price too, as they currently sit 4th in the 2025 Eliteserien despite being 2024 champions.
Injured Players:
Tottenham Hotspur: James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall, Dominic Solanke, Heung-Min Son, Radu Dragusin.
Bodoe: D. Bassi, according to Livescore.com.
Injuries have taken their toll on both squads, with Tottenham in particular limping toward the finish line. Regardless, a draw or narrow loss on Thursday will be enough to see the London side through to their first European final since the 2019 Champions League. Waiting in the final will be either Manchester United or Athletic Bilbao.
