Tottenham vs Elfsborg Prediction, Lineups and Odds: 25/1 fancy in the capital

Tottenham are looking to secure a crucial Europa League victory over Elfsborg tonight, which would guarantee them a top-eight finish in the standings.

While Spurs have struggled domestically, they’ve fared better in Europe, winning four of their seven matches, and they come into this clash boosted by a 3-2 victory over Hoffenheim last week.

The game is fast approaching at 8pm and will be shown live on TNT Sports 2.

Tottenham will be looking to put their Premier League problems behind them with a confidence-boosting cup victory over Elfsborg and they are capable of lifting the gloom against a team who do not perform well on the road.

Spurs suffered their fourth successive top-flight loss when going down 2-1 to Leicester on Sunday and that was their eighth defeat in their last 10 league outings.

However, they have made solid progress in this competition with four wins and two draws in seven games putting them sixth of the 36 teams with one group fixture to play.

Spurs won 3-2 at Hoffenheim in their last Europa League outing, having beaten AZ Alkmaar and Qarabag in London and Ferencvaros on the road.

Elfsborg picked up a valuable home win over Nice in their last Europa League test, but have struggled on the road, conceding 10 goals in their three away defeats against AZ, Galatasaray and Athletic Bilbao.

Spurs have conceded at least two goals in their last four games, so the chances of back-up goalkeeper Brandon Austin keeping a clean sheet are not high, but in spite of a lengthy injury list the home side should have enough quality to prevail in a match that sees both teams scoring.

For a large return from a small outlay, a correct-score bet on Tottenham to win 3-2 has plenty of appeal at 25/1 with Midnite.

Two of Tottenham's Europa League games have finished 3-2 - the win over Hoffenheim and their sole defeat away to Galatasaray, while the home match against Roma ended 2-2.

Elfsborg have lost 3-2 at AZ and 4-3 at Gala, so it would be no surprise if this contest features plenty of goals too.

The Swedish side lost eight of their 15 away games in the 2024 Allsvenskan campaign, conceding an average of 1.87 goals per match in those fixtures.
