It’s a lengthy away trip for Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham as they travel to Budapest to face Ferencvaros but they come into the match in good form. Since losing the North London derby, Spurs have won four straight in all competitions and look to make it five. With the top eight teams in the Europa League play getting to play fewer games via a bye, there is quite an incentive for winning early to avoid additional matches.

Storylines
Ferencvaros: It’s their first ever time facing Tottenham and they’ll now be facing an English club at home for the 10th time. History isn’t on their side with English sides only winning one of those games, Leeds United in 1969. It will be quite a clash for the leaders of the Hungarian domestic league but a tall task stopping the Tottenham attack.
Tottenham: Destiney Udogie and Heung-min Son didn’t make the trip to Hungary for this match adding a few worries to an already thin squad but with Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson finding form, Postecoglou should have enough firepower to secure a victory. Solanke has scored in three consecutive games while Johnson has scored in four consecutive matches.
Prediction
While winning in Hungary is no small feat, Postecoglou’s Spurs are rounding into form at the right time which will be enough to secure the win. Pick: Frencvaros 1, Tottenham 3
