Wolfsberg's first ever European knockout phase encounter brings them up against English heavyweights Tottenham Hotspur, who have already visited Austria in this season's UEFA Europa League. Wolfsberg finished second in Group K during the autumn, losing twice to section winners Dinamo Zagreb but taking ten points off former UEFA Cup winners Feyenoord and CSKA Moskva. Spurs topped Group J with 13 points, one more than the Belgian side Antwerp. Spurs are six matches unbeaten against Austrian opposition but will be hoping for an easier ride than they experienced earlier this season against LASK in the group stage.
Promoted to the Austrian top flight for the first time in 2012, Wolfsberg finished third in the 2019/20 Bundesliga, repeating their highest ever placing of a year earlier, to re-qualify for the UEFA Europa League for the second successive season. Last term they finished bottom of their section with five points. This is only the club's third European campaign and the first that has extended into the knockout phase.
Despite losing both fixtures against Dinamo, Ferdinand Feldhofer's side qualified from Group K thanks to a double over Feyenoord and a home draw and away win against CSKA. The Matchday 6 success against Feyenoord in Klagenfurt that confirmed Wolfsberg's place in the round of 32 was the Austrian club's first home win in the UEFA Europa League group stage at the sixth attempt (D2 L3).
Tottenham finished outside the top four of the Premier League for the first time in five seasons in 2019/20, ending a four-season run in the Champions League that had taken them into the final in 2018/19 and to the round of 16 last season, where they were eliminated by Leipzig. Spurs' 2020/21 European campaign began at an earlier stage than in any previous season, but José Mourinho's side came through qualifying ties away to Lokomotiv Plovdiv and Shkendija before beating Maccabi Haifa 7-2 at home in the play-offs.
In Group J they recovered from a shock 1-0 defeat in Antwerp on Matchday 2, beating bottom-placed Ludogorets twice, then drawing at LASK to ensure further progress before leapfrogging the Belgian side to the top of the standings with a win in the last group match in London. This is Tottenham's sixth appearance in the UEFA Europa League round of 32. They have won three of their five previous ties at this stage of the competition, losing the most recent, against Gent in 2016/17.

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.
