Richarlison In Attack | 4-3-3 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup vs Hoffenheim | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur are set to face Hoffenheim in an away fixture in the Europa League this midweek. The former side have lost their last two games and will be in desperate need to get their train back on track on Thursday.

Spurs are ninth on the Europa League points table, which means they need to buckle up if they wish to earn a direct qualification to the playoffs. However, it won’t be easy as Ange Postecoglou’s men are struggling to find form recently.

Defence

As Antonin Kinsky is ineligible to play with Guglielmo Vicario and Fraser Forster having fitness concerns, Brandon Austin is likely to operate between the sticks. Pedro Porro had a bad outing but should be keeping his right-back spot.

Ben Davies is likely to form the heart of the defence alongside Radu Dragusin and the former will share a big responsibility of the defence. Djed Spence did well as the left full-back and could be retained for this role this time.

Midfield

As Davies takes Archie Gray’s place in the backline, the latter might be used in the midfield. He will be operating alongside the likes of Lucas Bergvall and in the middle of the park, leaving no space for Pape Matar Sarr.

Don’t be surprised if Ange Postecoglou makes couple of changes in the attacking unit. Only Dejan Kulusevski is expected to be retained while James Maddison and Son Heung-min should be making way for Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear.

Apart from the goalkeeper woes, Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, Yves Bissouma, Micky van den Ven and Cristian Romero are also sidelined for this fixture.
