Tottenham vs Antwerp Prediction & Betting tips
Final game for group victory in season J of the Europa League. After five game days, both the Lilywhites and the Belgians are already qualified for the knockout games. However, it is still open who will secure the perhaps easier lot for the next round as group winners.
The better cards are currently held by the guests who won the first leg 1-0. But a success of the team of head coach Jose Mourinho would be enough to push the red-whites out of first place. The performance in the last few weeks was good, which is why there is a good chance of winning the duel.
LASK gambled away its last opportunity to remain in the competition with a 3-3 draw on the last day of the match against Spurs. Ludogorez Razgrad had no chance in the group and finished last without a counter.
So now it comes to the showdown for group victory. According to odds, the best bookmakers predict that in the match between Tottenham and Antwerp, the hosts will pass “The Great Old” at the last minute. The kick-off takes place on Thursday evening at 20:00 p.m. in the Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham :
After only finishing sixth in the English Premier League last season, the Spurs seem to be about to hit the big time this year. Both in the Europa League and in the national championship, the men of “The Special One” Jose Mourinho are brilliant.
In the Premier League table, the Lilywhites defended the top of the table with a 2-0 win over the Gunners. The lead on the Europa League places is already five points. In group J of the international competition, the blue-whites are still behind the upcoming opponent from Antwerp. The gap is only two points.
That should change on Thursday. With a win in a direct comparison, the Spurs could overtake the opponent.
The Mourinho team’s performance over the past few weeks has been impressive. The last eight competitive games were all played without defeat. Six wins were achieved in these duels. At their home in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Lilywhites have been unbeaten for nine competitive games.
In the last five games in their own stadium, the blue-whites always left the field as winners and only conceded a single goal. The top scorer in the Europa League is the Brazilian Lucas with three goals, in the league, Son (10 goals) and Harry Kane (8 goals), two players from Spurs are in the top group of the top scorer list.
Antwerp :
The Belgians narrowly missed the leap into Champions League qualification last season. Thanks to fourth place in the final bill, the participation in the Europa League remained as a consolation and here the red-whites are doing more than remarkable.
In advance it had to be assumed that the Spurs would not let the group win be taken away and that Antwerp would fight for second place with LASK. But Royal surprised everyone and is dazzling in the table.
After five games, “The Great Old” already has twelve points on the credit side and is sure to make it to the next round. In the duel with the English it is now a question of defending the championship lead.
The reigning Belgian cup winner suffered the only defeat against LASK with 0: 1. Even the Spurs were surprisingly defeated 1-0 in the first leg. Overall, Royal conceded only three goals in the best defense in Group J. It doesn’t matter too much that the offensive only overcame the opposing keeper eight times so far.
The best goalscorer is Israeli Lior Refaelov, who scored three goals in international competition, but who has also been successful five times in the league. After five games without a defeat, head coach Ivan Leko’s team caught it last weekend. “The Great Old” received a 2: 4 defeat at the table leaders from Genk. But with currently fourth place, Royal is again well in the race for international places this year.
