Antwerp vs Tottenham Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Antwerp:
Butez; Seck, Gelin, De Laet; Buta, Haroun, Hongla, Juklerod; Gerkens, Mbokani, Refaelov
Tottenham:
Hart; Aurier, Sanchez, Davies, Reguilon; Sissoko, Winks; Lamela, Lo Celso, Bale; Vinicius
Royal Antwerp will host Tottenham Hotspur at Bosuilstadion in the second round's fixture of Group J. Both teams have won the opening games against the other two teams in the group, LASK Linz and Ludogorets Razgrad. This match is like a derby as the winners will be much closer to knock-out phase. Antwerp managed to beat Ludogorets in Bulgaria with 2:1. Their first European game in a quarter of a century saw them coming back from a goal down. Marin had put Ludogorets a goal up in the second minute of the second half, but Antwerp equalized in the 64th minutes through Pieter Gerkens. What turned out to be the winning goal, was scored 7 minutes later by Lior Rafaelov. Antwerp were also successful in the domestic league during the weekend as they beat Germinal Beerschot with 3:2. That was their fifth consecutive win across all competitions. The goals were scored by Refaelov, Simen Jukleroed and Dieumerci Mbokani. Royal Antwerp have scored at least two goals in each of the last seven encounters. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent, while the players confidence is high. Coach Ivan Leko is doing a solid job and I believe the fans are satisfied. For this match he has no new injury or suspension worries, but four players remain sidelined - Matheus, Aurelio Buta, Sander Coopman and Alexis de Sart. The absence of the mentioned quartet shouldn't be a big problem for Leko.
Tottenham started the Europa League campaign since the qualifications. They have eliminated Bulgarian side Lokomotiv Plovdiv in the first encounter. The Spurs were one goal down until the 80th minute, but Kane and Ndombele turned out the result and secured a 2:1 victory. The next victims were Macedonian outfit Shkendija Tetovo. Goals from Lamela, Son and Kane secured a 3:1 win. Finally, the group stage of the competition was secured with a 7:2 victory over Maccabi Haifa. Kane scored a hat-trick, while the remaining four goals were scored by Dele Alli, Lo Celso (two) and Lucas Moura. In the opening match of the group Tottenham won 3:0 against LASK Linz. Lucas scored the first and Son the third goal, while the second was Andrade's own goal. The domestic form is also good. The Spurs have obtained a memorable victory when outplayed Manchester United at Old Trafford. The former European champions were humiliated as the final result was 6:1. Tottenham dropped two points against West Ham in a very strange match in which they conceded three goals in the finish of the game. During the weekend, Tottenham beat Burnley at Turf Moor with 1:0. The game was decided by Son in the 76th minute. Mourinho, who will probably rotate the players, has three injury worries ahead of this match. Japhet Tanganga is definitely sidelined, while Steven Bergwijn and Serge Aurier are rated as doubtful. Joe Rodon was not registered in time to be eligible for the Europa League group phase.
Antwerp vs Tottenham Prediction:
Antwerp are unbeaten on the last seven matches across all competitions. At the same time they conceded in each of these seven encounters. Tottenham, meanwhile, have scored 13 goals on the last four matches. Considering these facts, I expect an efficient match with at least three goals.
