Tottenham Hotspur vs. Qarabağ Preview: Spurs fans hope that this will be the first of many Europa League

matches they play this season, possibly as many as 17, so will this be the start of a memorable continental campaign? Tottenham has eight games scheduled in the new-look league phase, including tough trips to both Galatasaray and Rangers, as well as a glamour game against Roma. It’s almost 17 years since Tottenham Hotspur last won a major trophy, so could the UEFA Europa League offer them the ideal opportunity to end that streak?

Ange Postecoglou’s team shut up some of the doubters over the weekend when they defeated Brentford 3-1, overcoming a goal deficit. Dominic Solanke opened the score for the team before Brennan Johnson and James Maddison both found the net.

With two minutes remaining in their EFL Cup match against Coventry last midweek, Spurs were on the verge of an embarrassing loss until Djed Spence tied the score before Johnson secured victory in stoppage time. In summary, Tottenham is not very consistent, having won just two of their last five Premier League games, but they should win this European match with ease.

Regarding Qarabağ, they have gained recognition among football fans in Europe since they have dominated the Azerbaijani Premier League, taking home the championship in ten of the previous eleven seasons. They have the ability to compete in Europe thanks to this; this is their eleventh consecutive season that they have appeared in a UEFA group stage.



The Horeseman advanced to this competition after defeating both Ludogorets Razgrad and Lincoln Red Imps in Champions League qualifying throughout the summer. GNK Dinamo Zagreb destroyed them 5-0 in the play-off round.

This season, Gurban Gurbanov’s club is very much aiming for a top 24 finish after making it to the tournament’s knockout round for the first time last year. They came agonizingly close to eliminating eventual finalists Bayer Leverkusen in the last 16.

Outside of their home ground, Qarabağ has only ever won nine out of 33 European matches (qualifiers excluded), losing all three of their prior visits to England and giving up ten goals. Thus, many in North London are anticipating a straightforward victory at home.
