How to watch Tottenham vs IF Elfsborg in Europa League action
This Thursday, Ange Postecoglou will be hoping to secure a top-eight finish in the Europa League when his side welcomes Elfsborg to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Let us find out how you can watch this match.
Tottenham vs Elfsborg: Spurs aim for automatic qualification
It has been a testing period for Tottenham Hotspur under Ange Postecoglou, as the team’s Premier League form continues to plummet.
Despite glimpses of promise earlier in the season, Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to a struggling Leicester City side has only deepened the cracks.
Once a team vying for a top-four finish, the Lilywhites have now gone ten league matches without a win, a streak that has left fans frustrated and anxious about the club’s trajectory.
However, while their domestic form has suffered, Tottenham have been somewhat alright in the Europa League.
Currently sitting in sixth place in the group phase, they remain well-positioned to secure automatic qualification—but only if they overcome Elfsborg, a team that is in 20th place, and have picked up back-to-back 1-0 victories against Qarabag and Nice, making them a side capable of springing a surprise.
When and where is the game?
The Europa League clash will be hosted at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday, January 30, 2025. The fixture is scheduled for an 8 pm UK time kick-off.
