Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Ferencvaros will look to recover from a 2-1 loss to Anderlecht when they take on Tottenham in round 2. The Green and Whites head into Thursday’s game following a 3-0 win over Puskas Academy, but they will have a mountain to climb against Spurs. A man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Saldanha, who scored a hat-trick as a substitute against Puskas, while defender Raul Gustavo is back from suspension.
Ange Postecoglou’s men, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence following a 3-0 win over Manchester United. Even though defender Radu Dragusin is banned for the match, away win should be considered as Postecoglou fielded a very strong starting XI in the opener against Qarabag. As the Australia tactician is likely to stick to his policy, we are tempted to place our bets on the Premier League outfit. Both Heung-Min Son and Richarlison are sidelined with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Tottenham):
Tottenham Hotspur are a professional football club based in North London. Spurs host their rivals at White Hart Lane and the capacity of the stadium is 36,284. Tottenham won the Premier League (First Division) trophy in 1950/1951 and 1960/1961 and despite producing terrific displays in the 2015/2016 campaign Mauro Pochettino’s team eventually finished the season in third place in the standings.
Tottenham’s bitter rivals are Arsenal, but Chelsea and West Ham United are regarded as the team’s fierce opponents as well. Spurs have won eight FA Cup trophies, with the team also lifting the 1962/1963 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title.
Tottenham Hotspur hammered Atletico Madrid in the final of the competition back then (5-1). The likes of David Ginola, Sol Campbell, Teddy Sheringham, Jurgen Klinsmann, Gary Lineker, Luka Modric, Robbie Keane and Gareth Bale are star players that used to play for the White Hart Lane outfit in the past. The colour of Tottenham Hotspur’s home kit is white.
