An in-form Tottenham Hotspur continue their Europa League campaign in Hungary on Thursday night as they take on Ferencvaros.
Ange Postecoglou has Djed Spence to thank for sparking Spurs’ recent revival after the forgotten full-back netted a late equaliser at Coventry in the Carabao Cup. Brennan Johnson went on to win that cup tie for the Lilywhites and Postecoglou’s side are now heading into this fixture having won four on the bounce in all competitions.
They produced perhaps their best performance of the Postecoglou era thus far on Sunday, wiping the floor with a dire Manchester United side at Old Trafford in a 3-0 victory. That came after a gritty home win against Qarabag on Matchday 1 of the league phase, with Spurs having to play 83 minutes with ten men after Radu Dragusin’s sending off.
Ferencvaros were beaten in their league phase opener by Anderlecht last week and the Hungarian giants, who secured their sixth domestic title on the bounce last season, are expected to be among the poorest in the competition this time around.
They’ve started the season well after yet another busy summer, but Pascal Jansen’s side are likely to find Europa League points hard to come by.
Ferencvaros predicted lineup vs Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Dibusz; Botka, Cisse, Szalai, Ramirez; Abu Fani, Rommens; Kady, Zachariassen, Traore; Saldanha.
Tottenham predicted lineup vs Ferencvaros (4-3-3): Vicario; Gray, Romero, Van de Ven, Davies; Bissouma, Sarr, Bergvall; Johnson, Solanke, Moore.
