Wolfsberger AC enter their first UEFA Europa League knockout clash in mixed form this calendar year (W4, D2, L2) having qualified via a brace of 1-0 victories to close out the group stage.
Their last four Europa League games saw one side win ‘to nil’ (W2, L2), and interestingly, they scored four penalties during the group stage (W3, D1, L2) – no team has scored more from the spot.
With this game being played at a neutral venue, ‘Die Lavanttaler’ lose out on home advantage, although they’ve won just one Europa League home game since their group stage debut last season (D2, L3). This really is a step into the unknown for the Austrians as it’s also their first competitive meeting with an English club and their first UEFA game in Hungary.
However, Spurs have never won an away leg in the UEL knockout phase (D4, L5) although no English side has got there more often (six times). With no draw in six competitive away matches this calendar year (W3, L3), there’s been no shortage of entertainment – those fixtures produced an average of 4.5 goals per game!
No Kane is he injured ? Ndom resting ?
