Qarabag v Tottenham: Visitors won't bag maximum points

Qarabag v Tottenham
Thursday November 26, 18:00
Live on BT Sport Europe
Juggling multiple competitions is often a stiff test for a top-level manager, and it's a task that has come into sharp focus this week for Tottenham's Mauricio Pochettino. The Lilywhites' recent Premier League form has sparked murmurings about a surprise title tilt, and as such, Sunday's London derby against the champions Chelsea surely takes priority over a long trip to Azerbaijan.
The tricky thing is that Tottenham wanted to have qualified for the last 32 by now, but they haven't. They can afford to slip up on Thursday evening and still make it through, but a home game against Monaco is by no means a guaranteed three points.
Spurs are expected to field teenage wunderkind Dele Alli, as he is suspended for the clash with Chelsea. Clinton N'Jie may get another chance to show he isn't just a headless maverick, while we may also get a rare sighting of the lesser-spotted Andros Townsend.
Qarabag eventually succumbed 3-1 at White Hart Lane, but they took an early lead, and they are no pushovers at home. The Azerbaijani champions have drawn with Monaco and beaten Anderlecht, and they hammered Young Boys 3-0 in the play-off round.
Qarabag haven't lost a home game since February, and they haven't been beaten on their turf in European competition in over a year. The hosts are right in the mix for qualification, and I think what is likely to be an under-strength Spurs are underpriced at 2.10.
It's also worth noting that Tottenham's away form in Europe is modest. They have lost three of their last four away games in the Europa League, and have only won two of their last nine road matches.

Recommended Bet
Lay Spurs at 2.10

Southampton v Arsenal: Gunners set for a night of frustration

By
Southampton v Arsenal Wednesday, 19:45 Southampton  Claude Puel has done a decent job at Southampton this season, but his future at the club could rest on how well his team performs in their last four games of the season. The Saints can finish as high as eighth or as low as 16th. A bottom-half finish could be enough to seal the fate of the former Nice manager, with rumours suggesting that the club hierarchy are considering his future. It's true that Southampton's Premier League campaign has been rather underwhelming, with the side struggling to find any consistency this season, yet Puel did guide them to the EFL Cup final. He's inherited a weaker squad than previous managers enjoyed, which has lacked firepower for much of the season. Charlie Austin could return against Arsenal to help to solve that problem, while the defender Matt Targett is another player in contention. Virgil can Dijk remains out. Arsenal The Gunners gave themselves hope o...
