Steffen Schmidt - October 27, 2020
Royal Antwerp vs Tottenham Hotspur
UEFA Europa League
Date: Thursday, 29 October 2020
Kick-Off at 17.55 UK
Venue: Bosuil Stadion, Deurne.
Judging by the first third of Belgium First Division A, we are going to have one hell of a campaign when it comes to title race.
Top five teams are separated by only two points at this moment, with Antwerp sitting at the top with 20 points from ten encounters. This squad is not only performing well on domestic, but also on European scene as well. They returned with all three points from a trip to Bulgaria where they faced champions of this country Ludogorets Razgrad.
Can this squad make another upset by standing against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday night?
Jose Mourinho is known for mixing starting roster when his team has to play two games per week, so anything is possible. Visitors are favorites for the win, currently priced at 1.53 odds.
This is going to be the first head to head encounter between Antwerp and Tottenham Hotspur in history.
The main reason why Antwerp sits at top of First Division A is fact they are still undefeated at this ground, securing three victories and two draws so far. But can they hold Spurs who are much stronger squad than any domestic opponent though?
Stats are not so great when it comes to defending, conceding 14 goals in 10 appearances. They were unable to keep one single clean sheet in the last four European games.
Tottenham Hotspur have joined race for the top in Premier League after winning 11 points in the last five games. Fitness might represent a small issue in Belgium, as Spurs have just ended their Monday clash against Burnley at Turf Moor. That trip was successful, with Son scoring the winning goal in second half. We will tip Tottenham to beat Antwerp but also concede at least one goal as well.
