Asteras Tripolis v Tottenham Hotspur, Europa League: Where to Watch Live, Preview, Betting Odds and Possible XI
Tottenham travel to Greece on Thursday to take on Asteras Tripoli in the group stages of the Europa League, as they look to progress into the knockout stages of the tournament.
Where to Watch Live
Kick-off is set for 6pm GMT. Live coverage will be available on ITV 4 and ITV 4 HD.
Overview
Tripoli were decimated on their visit to north London a fortnight ago in the reverse fixture, losing by a margin of four goals as Mauricio Pochettino's men tightened the screw on their lesser known opponents. The Greek side will be aiming for revenge and are currently in good form coming into the match, having won two of their last three games in the league.
Meanwhile, Tottenham will be looking to keep their position at the top, leading second placed Besiktas by goal difference. A win here will all but confirm their participation in the knockout stages and allow them to concentrate on the league, where they have failed to live up to expectations.
Harry Kane is likely to start, having scored a hattrick in the reverse fixture and also scored the winner last weekend against Aston Villa to scrape what can prove to be an important win for Spurs. Pochettino has been unwilling to give the 21-year-old his first league start but a performance imbued with grit and determination will go a long way in warming up to the manager.
