Ange Postecoglou's team learned just last weekend how painful it is to watch another team celebrate. Spurs conceded five goals at Anfield, allowing Liverpool to clinch the title early. Now it's time for a Europa League game in which Tottenham face Bodo/Glimt at home. The hosts confidence is at rock bottom, perhaps even below, after three competitive defeats in their last four matches. The mood in the camp of the guests, who are the first Norwegian team to reach the semi-finals of a European competition, is likely to be completely different. Lead by their euphoria, Kjetil Knudsen's team is making things difficult to believe. Tottenham have rarely impressed this season. However, when Postecoglou's team has recently managed to live up to its potential, it has been in the Europa League. Tottenham clipped the wings of the Frankfurt Eagles in the quarter-finals. The North Londoners have conceded at least one goal in eight of their twelve Europa League games this season. Bodo/Glimt have only won one of seven away games in this tournament so far, but have scored in the twelve previous Europa League matches.
