Fiorentina vs Tottenham Preview, Team News, Line-Up, Betting Tips & Predicted Score
Tottenham take on Fiorentina in the Europa League tonight. Here’s a preview with team news, likely line-up, betting tips and predicted score
Tottenham will will look to secure a first leg advantage when they take on Fiorentina in their Europa League last 32 clash this evening.
Spurs have been in excellent form of late and gave their Premier League title chances a major boost with an impressive 2-1 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon.
However, the North Londoners must turn their attention to European matters tonight as they head in to the last 32 stage of the Europa League for the fourth consecutive season.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side eased through the group stages after topping their group ahead of Anderlecht and Monaco but arrive in Italy having won just one of their previous five European away days.
Tottenham will have to be on top form to improve upon that record as Fiorentina are in impressive form themselves, currently sitting third in the Serie A table, while they also beat Spurs 3-1 on aggregate at this stage of the competition last year.
