Bodo/Glimt had enjoyed a three-match unbeaten run across all competitions, recording two wins and one draw. However, they were brought back down to earth after suffering a morale-sapping 3-1 away defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final.
Tottenham Hotspur, on the other hand, is enduring a disastrous season in the English Premier League. In fact, this is their worst season in 30 years, as they head into this clash in 16th place in the league standings.
The visitors, however, have been performing well in the Europa League, and a 3-1 home win over Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of the semi-finals currently sees them on the verge of lifting a major trophy for the first time since 2008.
Bodo/Glimt has been involved in high-scoring matches, especially when playing at home. 21 of their last 22 home matches across all competitions have ended with over 2.5 goals. I expect a high-scoring affair when these two sides meet.
- Bet Type: TO 2.5
Manchester United vs. Athletic Bilbao
Manchester United is also an English Premier League team that has not been performing to the required standards this season. In fact, they are enduring a historically poor campaign and head into this clash in 15th place in the league standings.
However, the Reds can give their fans something worth celebrating this season, and that is clinching the Europa League title. They are in the semifinals and have set one foot in the finals after defeating Athletic Bilbao 3-0 away from home in the first leg.
Athletic Bilbao is enjoying a great campaign in La Liga and is on the verge of finishing inside the UEFA Champions League spot. They are fourth, with 61 points in the league standings.
Bilbao failed to build some momentum ahead of this clash as they were held to a goalless draw against Real Sociedad. They face an uphil battle in their bid to overturn a three-goal deficit from first leg against Manchester United in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final.
It was very unfortunate for Athletic Bilbao not to have scored in the first leg against Manchester United in the Europa League semi-final. However, I believe this time they can get on the scoreboard. In their last three meetings against Manchester United, two of those encounters have seen both teams score.

Chelsea vs. Djurgarden
Chelsea recently defeated the new English Premier League champions Liverpool 3-1 at home over the weekend. Thanks to that win, they are on the verge of securing Champions League football in the upcoming season.
The Blues are also favorites with bookmakers to win the UEFA Conference League this season. They thrashed Djurgarden 4-1 away from home in the first leg of the semi-finals.
Djurgarden is in a tricky situation to secure their spot in the finals of the UEFA Conference League as they have to overturn a three-goal deficit from the first leg against Chelsea.
They head into this clash low in confidence as they are winless in two matches across all competitions. Their last match was against AIK in the seventh round of the Allsvenskan. They drew that match 1-1 at home.
Chelsea have kept four clean sheets in their last seven home matches across all competitions. Five of those encounters have seen under 3.5 goals, and I believe we can see the same trend here. That said, back under 3.5 goals.
