LASK vs Tottenham Hotspur prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Europa League 2020-21
Tottenham Hotspur travel to Austria to face LASK in a Europa League Group J clash, with a win needed to send Jose Mourinho's side into the round of 32.
Current Premier League leaders Tottenham are second in Group J, level on points with group leaders Royal Antwerp.
Mourinho's side are coming off a tough 0-0 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League, in a game where Chelsea did fashion the better openings.
A Premier League point against Chelsea is a creditable result that Mourinho will not be too unpleased with considering the quality of the opposition and his team's position in the table.
For LASK, a win against their English opponents would be massive, as that would enable them to draw level on points with Spurs ahead of the last group game.
