  May 8, 2025 Bodø/Glimt - Tottenham  On Thursday, May 8, 2025, Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt will host English club Tottenham Hotspur in the return leg of the UEFA Europa League semifinal.

However, the home advantage could prove crucial for Maurizio Sarri's men. Lazio are unbeaten in their last 13 home UEFA Europa League matches (7 wins, 6 draws) since losing 2-1 to Celtic in November 2019. This formidable home record will give them confidence, despite being winless in their last three knock...
