Tottenham Hotspur are well positioned to secure a place in the UEFA Europa League round of 16 as they host Elfsborg on Thursday.

While the Premier League club have been unconvincing domestically, they tend to show their quality in Europe. They should do enough to get the win against the Swedish side who have struggled on their travels.

Tottenham Hotspur Form


Pressure continues to mount on manager Ange Postecoglou following Tottenham Hotspur's 2-1 Premier League home defeat to Leicester City last Sunday. That was their eighth defeat in 10 matches in the League and leaves them 15th in the table.

It has undoubtedly been a disappointing Premier League campaign for Tottenham Hotspur but they seem to be doing well in Europe, sitting in the top eight. They are unbeaten in six of their seven matches in the competition and earned a 3-2 victory at Hoffenheim in their previous fixture. The form of Richarlison is also a positive development with the Brazilian striker scoring in two of his three matches since returning from injury.

That result at Hoffenheim highlights the nature of Tottenham Hotspur's season so far as they are often solid going forward while being equally vulnerable at the back. As a result of this, three of their last four Europa League matches have produced over 3.5 goals.

Elfsborg Form


Sitting 20th in the table, Elfsborg can no longer finish in the top eight and will travel to England looking to secure their spot in the playoff places. The good news is that they have won their last two matches in the competition claiming 1-0 victories over Qarabag and Nice.

Elfsborg's recent form has also been solid as they have won three of their last four matches across all competitions. However, these fixtures have been on the road as Oscar Hiljemark's team have lost all three of their away matches in the Europa League.

The Swedes have been defensively poor on their travels and have conceded at least three goals in each of their last three Europa League away matches.

Head to Head


This will be the first ever meeting between Tottenham and Elfsborg.

Verdict

Tottenham Hotspur may be struggling domestically but have been in good form in the Europa League. They have four wins in the competition and although their shaky backline means a clean sheet is unlikely, they are still expected to claim the win.

Both teams have a penchant for high-scoring encounters and can produce over 3.5 goals on Thursday.
