Betting Predictions
Spurs will play their first Europa League match on Thursday, hosting Azeri champions Qarabag FK in North London.
Ange Postecoglou will be happy that Spurs will play their next opponents at home instead of having to travel far across Europe and into Asia to play in Azerbaijan.
Head-to-Head
Tottenham Hotspur did the double the last time they faced Qarabag during the 2015-16 Europa League. In the home match, they won 3-1 thanks to braces from Son Heung-Min.
Tottenham bounced back from derby day setback to Arsenal with a 3-1 win over Brentford at the weekend and they open their Europa League campaign by hosting Qarabag on Thursday.
The visitors defeated Lincoln Red Imps and Ludogorets to go to the Champions League play-off round. However, they were soundly defeated 5-0 on aggregate by Dinamo Zagreb.
Team News
Three days after this match, Tottenham’s match against Man United is expected to force Postecoglou into a heavy rotation, as the Tottenham front four may vary.
Dominic Solanke, who did start in their previous cup triumph against Coventry City, is the most likely player to keep his place, given the paucity of other options up front, and the fact that another goal here might help him settle in more after his move from Bournemouth.
Spurs are now lacking in attack due to injuries to Richarlison and Wilson Odobert, who was substituted out of the EFL Cup last week. In 2015, Son Heung-min scored his first two goals for Tottenham against Qarabag; nevertheless, the South Korean will likely be rested for this match and used again on the weekend.
Defender Kevin Medina of Qarabag will suffer a one-match European suspension after being sent off against Dinamo Zagreb in their Champions League quarterfinal. The only injury concern for the visitors was Jankovic, who made a late comeback in their 4-0 victory against Neftci Baku on Friday.
Their main player in Europe is Juninho, who scored in both of their playoff matches against Leverkusen and added another goal to his six goals in the Europa League. The Brazilian also scored six goals in six UCL qualifying matches played in the summer.
Richard Almeyda, an Azerbaijani international who gained naturalization, scored Qarabag’s first goal at White Hart Lane nine years ago, but the seasoned midfielder is probably going to start as a substitute in this match.
Probable Line-Up
Tottenham Hotspur XI:
Forster; Gray, Dragusin, Davies, Spence; Sarr, Bentancur, Bergvall; Johnson, Solanke, Werner
Qarabag FK XI:
Kochalski; Matheus da Silva, Mustafazada, B Huseynov, Cafarquliyev; Romao, Patrick Andrade; Leandro Andrade, Benzia, Zoubir; Juninho
Verdict
Tip Tottenham to Winâś…
Reason
Even if it’s a home game, Spurs have no reason to lose, even though it’s not an easy game. As long as Ange Postecoglou doesn’t make any drastic changes, Spurs should have enough to win all three points after their much-improved victory against Brentford.

Tip: Over 2.5 Goalsâś…
Reason
The Azerbaijani club gave the all-conquering Bayer Leverkusen a scare in the round of 16 of this competition last season, losing 5-4 over two legs. Their play this season suggests they would find it difficult to contain Spurs’ offensive prowess; the team narrowly lost out to Aston Villa for a Champions League berth. Especially at home, the hosts should be able to put a couple past a team like Qarabag, therefore a high-scoring Tottenham victory is possible.
