Tottenham vs Qarabag Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips: Back a Solanke Brace
Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham head into this Europa League campaign as the bookmakers' favourites. They will look to kickstart their campaign against a Qarabag side in excellent domestic form on Thursday night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, live on TNT Sports at 8 p.m.
Tottenham vs Qarabag Predictions
Spurs have had a mediocre start to this season, which has seen Aussie manager Ange Postecoglou feel the need to defend himself and his football philosophy in recent press conferences. He has recently pointed out that he has a habit of consistently winning a trophy in his second season at a football club and the reality is that if that track record is to continue, the Europa League is his best chance. Tottenham enter this year's competition as the betting favourites, and an opening game against Qarabag is the perfect opportunity to show that they mean business.
Although Qarabag have been in great domestic form, topping the Azerbaijan Premier League, this Spurs side are the far superior team. Spurs realistically couldn't of asked for a better opener than a home game against an Azerbaijani team. This is a real chance for them to flex their muscles and although they will likely rest players for the Manchester United game on Sunday, Tottenham should dominate this game.
Therefore, I am picking Tottenham to win both halves and keep a clean sheet at odds of 17/10 at BetMGM.

Although Spurs are expected to rotate their squad, I anticipate Dominic Solanke to be in the starting lineup. The former Bournemouth striker has faced a challenging start to life at Tottenham, having suffered an injury early in the season. However, he recently found the back of the net for the first time in a Spurs shirt during their match against Brentford last weekend. This upcoming fixture against Qarabag presents an ideal opportunity for Solanke to build on that momentum and gain some much-needed confidence ahead of Sunday’s clash against Manchester United. A strong showing could help him find his confidence and become a key contributor for the team this season.
If Solanke does start, he is likely to be heavily involved as Spurs are expected to dominate possession and create numerous attacking opportunities. With the team looking to make a statement in their opening Europa League fixture, the striker should have plenty of chances to find the back of the net. I’m confident that Solanke will get his name on the scoresheet and will be backing him to score 2+ goals against a weaker Qarabag side that may struggle to contain Tottenham’s attack.
You can back Solanke to score 2+ goals at odds of 21/4 at BetMGM.
