Tottenham Face Tough Test in Europa League Semifinal Second Leg

Tottenham Hotspur will face a tough test when they travel to Bodø/Glimt’s home ground for the second leg of their Europa League semifinal — a match set to take place at Aspmyra Stadium on Thursday night, as reported by ESPN.

Ange Postecoglou will have to manage this crucial game without several key players — James Maddison is sidelined for the rest of the season due to a knee injury, while Son Heung-min has yet to recover from a foot problem.

The hosts, Bodø/Glimt, have an impressive record at home with 28 wins from their last 34 European matches — a strength further reinforced by their experience playing on a synthetic pitch.

“There’s no doubt the synthetic pitch is an advantage for us,” said Bodø/Glimt defender Odin Bjortuft. “The ball moves really fast here, and that’s the key to our game.”

Despite holding a 3-1 aggregate lead, Tottenham Hotspur must be cautious in the unique conditions of the Arctic Circle — with the temperature expected to drop to 6°C during the match.
