The upcoming Europa League match between Ferencvaros and Tottenham Hotspur, scheduled for October 3, 2024, at 12:45 p.m. ET, presents an intriguing encounter in European football. Tottenham enters this match with considerable momentum following four consecutive victories across competitions . Meanwhile, Ferencvaros leads the Hungarian domestic league and will undoubtedly seek to leverage their home advantage in Budapest. The match represents a critical juncture for both teams as they vie for points in a highly competitive group stage.
Spurs have impressed in spells this season and they come into Thursday’s clash on the back of their impressive 3-0 win at Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday. The Red Devils played with 10 men for over half of the game following Bruno Fernandes’s red card, however, Postecoglou’s side were still the better team before the sending off.
Tottenham beat Qarabag of the Azerbaijan Premier League 3-0 in their first Europa League clash, despite Spurs being down to 10 men from the seventh minute. Radu Dragusin saw red but goals from Brennan Johnson, Pape Sarr and Dominic Solanke secured the win.
It will be up to the hosts to set up to frustrate Spurs as they look to claim a famous result in their first game against an English team since beating Millwall 20 years ago.
Since suffering back-to-back Premier League defeats against Newcastle and Arsenal, Tottenham have turned the corner with an emphatic run, topped off with a 3-0 rout of Manchester United on Sunday.
The win at Old Trafford saw Spurs climb the league table, sitting eighth after six rounds of matches, with 10 points collected from a possible 18.
A clash in Hungary will potentially offer Postecoglou a chance to field a more rotated squad ahead of another tough Premier League encounter at Brighton on Saturday, which will be their final test before the October international break.
Postecoglou will be keen to give Lucas Bergvall another start after being sacrificed just minutes into the 3-0 win due to the red card. Archie Gray should also again get the nod.
Captain Heung-min Son and Destiny Udogie have both stayed behind due to injury, with forwards Richarlison and Wilson Odobert also out.
