- Tottenham are ahead 3-1 against Bodo/Glimt
- Manchester United are leading 3-0 against Athletic Bilbao
- Chelsea are playing against Djurgarden at home and are leading 4-1 from the first leg
Three teams from Britain established a strong position with convincing victories in the first leg of their semi-final matches last week.
In the upcoming matches, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, and Chelsea will aim to complete their task, while Fiorentina will try to stage a comeback against an in-form Real Betis team as they host the Spaniards in Florence.
Bodo/Glimt vs Tottenham Hotspur (Thursday, 8pm)
Bodo/Glimt were rightfully defeated at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last week, but the Norwegian team typically performs better at home in Bodo, posing a challenge for Tottenham on Thursday.
They have won their last eight competitive home matches, claiming surprising victories against Besiktas, Twente, Olympiakos, and Lazio. They face a Spurs team that has lost seven of their last ten away matches.
Despite this, with both teams scoring in 12 out of Bodo/Glimt's 15 Europa League games, the visitors are likely to find the net for the ninth consecutive match.
Score prediction: Bodo/Glimt 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur
Manchester United vs Athletic Bilbao (Thursday, 8pm)
Athletic Bilbao were strong favorites in the first leg against Manchester United in pursuit of a Europa League final at home, but a 3-0 loss has put them in a difficult position and it seems improbable for them to overturn such a significant deficit at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils rested many key players in a high-scoring game against Brentford on Sunday and have remained unbeaten in the Europa League this season, while Athletic have failed to score in their last four away matches.
Trailing by three goals, the Basque team will be on the offensive, aiming to challenge a home side that has witnessed both teams scoring in 10 out of 13 games in this competition.
Nevertheless, a fourth draw in five away matches might be the destiny for the trailing team.
Score prediction: Manchester United 1-1 Athletic Bilbao
Fiorentina vs Real Betis (Thursday, 8pm)
In the Conference League, Fiorentina will be banking on home advantage to overcome the 2-1 loss they suffered in Seville last week, but they could face difficulties against the strong Real Betis team.
The Spanish team has lost only one of their last 15 matches across all competitions and their last away defeat dates back to early February.
Both teams have been scoring in nine of their last 10 matches, indicating that both sides will have opportunities going forward. However, a third 1-1 draw in five away matches for Real Betis may be on the horizon.
Score prediction: Fiorentina 1-1 Real Betis
Chelsea vs Djurgarden (Thursday, 8pm)
Despite the scoreline reading 4-1, Djurgarden showed more competitiveness than anticipated in the first leg against Conference League favorites Chelsea, having 16 attempts on goal and restricting the Blues to 12 shots.
It is unlikely that Djurgarden can replicate such a performance at Stamford Bridge, where Enzo Maresca's team has won five out of six matches in this competition, scoring 21 goals in the process.
Chelsea improved their Champions League aspirations with a victory over Liverpool on Sunday and are expected to comfortably secure victory on Thursday.
Score prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Djurgarden
