Jose Mourinho makes his home bow as Tottenham Hotspur welcome Olympiacos to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a huge Champions League clash.
Spurs come into this clash knowing that a win will secure progression to the knockout stage for a second consecutive season, whereas Olympiacos need victory to keep their qualification hopes alive.
Team news
Tanguy Ndombele could return for Tottenham after missing Saturday’s match with a groin injury.
Jan Vertonghen meanwhile is also in contention as he nears a return from a hamstring injury.
Hugo Lloris (elbow), Michel Vorm (calf), Erik Lamela (hamstring) and Ben Davies (muscle) are all ruled out.
Olympiacos have no injury concerns ahead of this match.
Stat Attack
- Tottenham are unbeaten in two of their previous three meetings with Olympiacos (W1, D1, L1).
- Spurs won their only previous home meeting against Olympiacos by a 4-0 result in October 1972.
- Six of Tottenham’s 13 Champions League goals this season have come before half-time.
Prediction
Tottenham looked back to their top level on Saturday but their defending however still looks vulnerable, which Olympiakos should look to exploit if want a win.
This however is Mourinho’s home bow as Tottenham manager and after scoring nine goals without conceding in their last two Champions League games, I fancy them to get another comfortable win although won’t be a huge result.
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 Olympiacos
Result: Tottenham Hotspur 4-2 Olympiacos
