|---|---|---|

Tottenham vs Bodø/Glimt
Tottenham are firm favourites, priced at 29/100 to Bodø/Glimt’s 8/1 with bet365. They dodged the real bullet in Bilbao, but the Norwegian side has played some terrific football.
The average number of corners per game in the Europa League this season is 5.9 for Tottenham and 4.4 for Bodø/Glimt. We expect this to continue, and fewer than 13 corners to occur.
Kasper Høgh is Bodø/Glimt’s top scorer in the Europa League with 7 goals and is averaging 0.8 shots on target per game.
He’s also scored 8 goals in his last 9 games. The odds here are too high not to be worth the risk.
Spurs might have been relegation fodder in another season, and their Europa League knockout campaign has been mixed; 2 wins, a draw, and a loss is hardly world-beating.
We expect Tottenham to win at home, but struggle in Norway. They’ve lost 7 of their last 10 away games but have only lost 3 of 10 at home.
Bodø/Glimt have been a surprise package, dominating against Olympiacos and squeezing past a brilliant Lazio side. Facing Tottenham is the best-case scenario for them, too.
Their home advantage is massive. In the Europa League, they won 6 of their 7 home games. So, we expect them to play defensively here, then go all out at home.
Athletic Bilbao vs Man United
Athletic Bilbao are the favourites here, but it’s close. The odds read as follows on bet365.
In 12 matches, Bilbao has only conceded 10 goals and kept 6 clean sheets. United have conceded 17, keeping 2 clean sheets.
United have scored the most goals from the remaining clubs, so we expect them to score, but also concede. The odds are quite high, but we think they can manage that.
Both teams have received 11 cards each in the knockouts. That’s 2.75 per game. If they both reach that average, you’ll be laughing.
Bilbao and United have had hugely contrasting seasons; Bilbao have secured a UCL spot, while United have only just secured their spot in the Premier League.
Both will be executing silverware, and the winner will be the likely favourite to win the competition.
Outright Odds
Thanks to the draw, Tottenham are the current favourites, followed by Bilbao and United. Any team could realistically do it; however, even Bodø/Glimt.
There’s quite a bit of value in Bilbao, especially since the Europa League final will be played at their home ground, San Mamés.
