Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham Hotspur
Wolfgang Shotten; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Tottenham hold a significant 3-1 aggregate advantage heading into their second-leg tie against Bodo/Glimt. Despite a challenging domestic season, Spurs have consistently delivered in Europe, winning crucial away fixtures like their 1-0 triumph over Eintracht Frankfurt. However, their away record remains a concern, with just two wins in their last 10 outings. Bodo/Glimt, on the other hand, boast a formidable home record, winning their last eight home matches, including a 2-0 victory over Lazio in the quarter-finals. The Norwegians are desperate to extend their historic European run and have thrived at Aspmyra Stadion, netting 15 goals in their last five Europa League home ties. Given Tottenham’s defensive vulnerabilities and Bodo/Glimt’s attacking intent, this clash promises goals at both ends.

Manchester United vs Athletic Bilbao
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Manchester United are in prime position to reach the Europa League final after a resounding 3-0 first-leg win in Bilbao. United have been formidable at Old Trafford in European fixtures, unbeaten in their last 11 home games in this competition. While their domestic form has wavered, their European pedigree remains intact, with Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro steering the midfield and Rasmus Hojlund poised to lead the line. Athletic Bilbao, despite their strong home form this season, face a daunting task to overturn the deficit, having struggled for goals in recent matches. The Basques have netted just once in their last three Europa League outings and have failed to win their last three away matches in this competition. With United’s defensive stability at home, another controlled, professional performance is expected.
Best Bet: Manchester United to Win to Nil
Chelsea vs Djurgarden
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Chelsea head into this second-leg tie with a 4-1 advantage over Djurgarden, allowing them to manage their squad ahead of crucial Premier League fixtures. However, defensive lapses have been a concern, with the Blues conceding in five of their last seven Conference League games. Djurgarden, despite being clear underdogs, have demonstrated resilience on the road, losing just one of their last seven European away fixtures. They stunned Rapid Vienna in their previous knockout tie, overturning a first-leg deficit with a 4-1 extra-time win in the second leg. Given Chelsea’s potential for rotation and Djurgarden’s recent form, a competitive, open contest is expected, with both sides likely to find the net.
Best Bet: Both Teams to Score
Fiorentina vs Real Betis
Steve Harrington; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Real Betis hold a slender 2-1 lead from the first leg, but Fiorentina will be confident of overturning the deficit at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. La Viola have found the net in four of their last five fixtures, while Betis have only suffered one defeat in their last 15 competitive outings. The Spanish side’s attacking approach has seen both teams score in nine of their last 10 matches, highlighting their vulnerability at the back despite a potent frontline. Fiorentina, meanwhile, will look to press high and dominate possession, making for an end-to-end encounter. With both teams’ attacking strengths and defensive frailties, goals at both ends seem highly likely.
