Tottenham Vs Qarabag: Match Preview, Odds & Prediction

This week in the UEFA Europa League, Tottenham Hotspur and Qarabag will lock horns with one another. Held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, the Premier League squad's match against the Azerbaijan Premier League team starts Wednesday at 8 pm Nigerian time.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

Consistently contending for a position in the Premier League's top four, Tottenham Hotspur is one of the most prominent English teams. Last season, Spurs were only edged out by Aston Villa for the last UEFA Champions League slot.

Spurs, managed by Ange Postecoglou, a former Celtic player, will lead the North London team to great heights this season as they compete in the UEFA Europa League. While there is still a way to go, Premier League teams like West Ham United and Aston Villa have shown they can make a splash in the UEFA Europa League.

Thursday night's UEFA Europa League match between Qarabag and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is in North London. Tottenham will be riding high after a 3-1 Premier League home win over Brentford. Following a 1-0 loss to Arsenal in the Premier League, the team advanced to the third round of the League Cup with a 2-1 win against Coventry City on the road.

One of the most prominent Azerbaijani clubs, Qarabag, has experience competing on a European stage. Qarabag has an impressive record of eleven victories in the Azerbaijan Premier League and eight in the Azerbaijan Cup.

The Horsemen are no strangers to European competition, having participated in both the Champions League and the Europa League. Unfortunately for Qarabag, they did not make it beyond the group stage and will now compete in the UEFA Europa League instead of the UEFA Champions League this season.

The Azerbaijan Premier League is now favouring Qarabag. At the moment, Gurban Gurbanov's squad is leading the league with 15 points after six matches. Sabah and Turan Tovuz are in second and third place, respectively, with seven games played.
