Wolfsberger AC faces Tottenham in the first leg of the Europa League 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, February 18th at Puskás Aréna (Budapest)
Wolfsberger AC has drawn some attention to itself lately. At first, the Black-and-Whites were able to break into European cups only for the second time in their history, but they were only 4th in their quartet in 2020. But the team managed to climb to the 3rd place in the championship of Austria, and now it is rather successful in the European Cup. Wolfsberger did not oppose anything against Dinamo Zagreb, but he was able to score four points with CSKA Moscow (1-1 at home, 0-1 in Russia) and beat Feyenoord twice. In the current championship, the Black-and-Whites scored only 24 points in 17 matches, which allows them to go only in 6th position. Will they focus on the international arena?

Tottenham completely fails in the Premier League. On Saturday, Manchester City beat the Spurs without any problems - Zinchenko and the company issued the final 3-0 score by the 66th minute. And this was the 4th defeat in the last five rounds (Tottenham managed to beat only the crisis-ridden West Bromwich). With 36 points, Hotspurs are in 9th position. Beyond that, Jose Mourinho's charges were knocked out of the cup by Everton in an amazing goal shootout (5:4). In principle, the situation is far from hopeless, as the gap from the top four is not too large. And Tottenham managed to reach the final of the League Cup. Still, in order not to be fired again, Mourinho urgently needs to show a vivid result. This may be just the success in the Europa League, especially since the Portuguese manager has a similar experience (with Manchester United). But will he field the optimal lineup, or will he provide the leaders with rest?
For Wolfsberger, this is only the third participation in European Cups. Not surprisingly, it hasn't played against Tottenham yet. Moreover, the Austrian team has never played against representatives of England before. Therefore, bookmakers have no doubts about Tottenham's victory. The Spurs need success that will become an outlet in the face of domestic setbacks. We decided to bet on the visitors’ victory with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Tottenham to win with -1.0 handicap
