Tottenham host LASK Linz in the first round Group J tie in the Europa League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London) on Thursday, October 22 and the match kicks-off at 8pm (UK).
MATCH PREVIEW
Having sealed their place in the competition with three qualifying wins against Lokomotiva Plovdiv in the first round, Macedonian side Shkendia in the second and Maccabi Haifa in the last qualifying round, Spurs have scored 12 goals in the process and are huge favourites to top the Group J where they come up against Ludogorets and Royal Antwerp besides LASK.
LASK had one step less in the qualifying roounds playing against Slovakian side DAC 1904 (7-0) in the second round and Sporting CP (1-4) in the third. They were impressive in those to victories, especially against well-known Portuguese team and will be a tough opposition for the Mourinho side on Thursday.
MATCH ANALYSIS
The Spurs, two-time UEFA Cup winners from 1972 and 1984 have finished their last year’s European journey in the Champions League Round of 16 to RB Leipzig, but Champions League winner Jose Mourinho a European competition, whether it’s the Champions League or the Europa League. Last season Arsenal won the FA Cup, meaning Tottenham had to go through three qualifying rounds to seal their spot in the group stages. But as top seeds in a soft-looking Group J, Mourinho could use the group stage as a chance for rotation.With Spurs fresh from a 6-1 thrashing of Manchester United and a win against West Ham, the north Londoners are firing on all cylinders and it would come as no surprise if Mourinho adds another title to his 2017 Europa League triumph with Man United.
LASK have now won 6 of their last 8 matches in all competitions (W6-D1-L1) and a 3-0 ÖFB Cup win vs SV Bio Perlinger Wörgl was their most recent win. Since Oliver Glasner took over LASK back in 2015 their preferred system is to play with a 3-4-3 formation and show direct and vertical football. This hasn’t changed under the coach of the last season Valérien Ismaël and also the newly appointed head coach Dominik Thalhammer stick to the same philosophy. LASK had a decent season at home and abroad last campaign, finishing 2nd and 6 points behind RB Salzburg in the regular season table, they eventually dropped down two places in the Championship round as Rapid Wien and Wolfsberger AC moved ahead of them.However, it was in Europe where they came to the attention of many as they made it through to the Europa League Round of 16 and they will certainly not be pushovers when they visit London.

This will be Spurs’ very first match against LASK; they have faced Austrian opposition on four previous occasions, beating SV Stockerau twice and FK Austria Wien once (D1).
Spurs were eliminated by KAA Gent at the Last 32 stage in their most recent Europa League participation (2016-17). They have successfully navigated the group stages with each of their last four attempts since failing in 2011-12.
LASK finished top of a group containing Sporting CP, PSV Eindhoven and Rosenborg last season, earning 13 points, but were knocked out of the competition by Manchester United in a 7-1 aggregate defeat in the Last 16.
My prediction for this match is: Spurs win
4-2-3-1
3-4-2-1

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
