After earning a 3-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Premier League last time out, Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur will turn their attentions to Friday morning’s clash at Ferencvaros in the UEFA Europa League.
Spurs started their campaign in this competition with a 3-0 home win against Qarabag and will head to Hungary confident of another three points in the league phase of the UEFA Europa League.

. When: 02:45 (AEST), Friday 4th October
. How to watch: Stan Sport
. Odds: Ferencvaros 6.00, Draw 5.25, Tottenham 1.42
Postecoglou’s Spurs have been on a roll since their North London Derby defeat at the hands of Arsenal last month, winning all of their last four games in all competitions.
The Lilywhites produced their performance of the season so far last time out, with a straight-forward win over a lacklustre United side at Old Trafford.
With confidence growing in the Spurs camp, they can now look forward to a European evening in Budapest, against a Ferencvaros side that began their UEFA Europa League journey with a 2-1 defeat at Belgian giants Anderlecht.
Tottenham are the heavy favourites at 1.42 to claim a valuable three points on the road, with the draw at 5.25 and a surprising Ferencvaros win at 6.00.
Having missed the game at Old Trafford, Heung-Min Son looks set to sit out Friday’s encounter in Hungary, with an important Premier League clash at Brighton & Hove Albion to follow just three days later.
It’s not yet certain if Son’s hamstring issue will also rule him out of the game against the Seagulls at the Amex Stadium.
The South Korean star will be missed if he doesn’t feature on Monday but Spurs showed against the Red Devils they can cope in his absence.
Dominic Solanke was back on the scoresheet against United last time out and the striker seems to be growing in confidence following his big-money move from Bournemouth.
Scoring in all of Tottenham’s last three games against Brentford, Qarabag and United, the former Chelsea and Liverpool striker is available at 2.40 in the anytime goalscorer market at Ferencvaros.
As for the hosts, Hungary international Barnabas Varga is likely to be the main threat for Ferencvaros in this UEFA Europa League showdown.
With two goals in his first four league games, Varga has made a solid start to the season and is available at 3.60 in the anytime goalscorer market and 9.00 to bag the opening goal of the game.
