Spurs delight fans this season. Jose Mourinho’s wards beat Manchester City in the last round of the English Premier League and topped the England league table. After nine rounds the Londoners have 20 points, thats the same number as the reigning champion Liverpool has. Many already say that Mourinho’s hand is visible to the naked eye. He has created a combat-ready team that is able to fight for the top three. In the Europa League Spurs also have everything under control. Tottenham beat LASK and Ludogorets, but lost to Antwerp. While there is triple power in Group J, the English club still remains the main contender for the first place and the exit from the group. It seems that only it can prevent Tottenham from leaving the group, if it refuses to fight for the LE in favor of the Premier League. The participation in this game of defenders Toby Alderweireld, Matt Doherty and Yafet Tanganga, as well as midfielder Eric Lamela is questionable.
It was expected that Zorya would look more solid in its group. However, the fact that leaders left the team in the summer affected. As a result, the Ukrainians have 0 points after 3 rounds. They scored only 2 goals and conceded 9. The one who watched how the black-and-white played, would hardly argue with the fact that the team is absolutely deservedly on the 4th line in the quartet. If Viktor Skripnik’s charges lose in the next game, they will lose even the theoretical chances of reaching the playoffs of the tournament. And we are afraid that Luhansk people will really lose. The visiting team has very modest indicators within the European competition: having only 1 victory, with 2 draws and 5 losses. 5 of those 8 games ended with “both to score – no”. In addition, in 5 matches there was a bet on “both will score – yes”. After an international break, Zorya did not play in the Ukrainian championship. The match against Olympic was postponed. Logically, the Ukrainians should be fresher than the Greeks, who played in the Greek championship.
