Spurs begin European journey against Azerbaijani champions
Tottenham tonight begin their Europa League campaign against Qarabag.
Manager Ange Postecoglou is embracing the challenge of trying to end the long trophy drought at Spurs, having talked up his track record of lifting silverware in his second season at every club he’s managed.
Still, Postecoglou has been dealt some difficult fixtures in the revamped League phase this season.
After hosting the Azerbaijani champions, they face the likes of Galatasaray, Roma and Rangers in what looks like a tricky draw.
Tottenham vs Qarabag is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off time tonight, Thursday, September 26, 2024.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London will host.
TV channel: The game will be broadcast on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate.
Live stream: Subscribers will be able to watch on a live stream via the Discovery+ app.
Tottenham XI: Vicario; Gray, Dragusin, Van de Ven, Davies; Bissouma, Sarr, Bergvall; Johnson, Solanke, Son
Subs: Forster, Austin, Porro, Udogie, Bentancur, Maddison, Kulusevski, Moore, Werner, Lankshear
Qarabag XI: Kochalski, Silva, Mustafazade, Bayramov, Huseynov, Cafarguliyev, Benzia, Andrade, Romao, Zoubir, Juninho
Subs: Mammadzada, Buntic, Jankovic, Addai, Andrade, Richard, Kashchuk, Qurbanly, Isaev, Huseynov, Akhundzade
While certainly not an easy game, it’s one Spurs have no excuse not to win given it’s at home. The win over Brentford was much-improved and Spurs have more than enough to secure all three points, as long as Ange Postecoglou doesn’t make wholesale changes.
