Tottenham will have to look for goals, if the team wants to move forward in the Europa League. For the first time this season it can be clearly said that the Spurs are in pretty poor form with only 1 win in their last 6 games. In their home match against Basel, Tottenham was unpleasantly surprised by the great performance of the guests and the result 2-2 is not entirely deserved. Basel was closer to the win in this meeting, and for the next match the bookmakers mark Basel as the favorite.
The problems for Villas Boas for this visit are quite serious as in the list of injured players for Tottenham there are 6 names. These are Gareth Bale, Aaron Lennon, Jermain Defoe, William Gallas, Younes Kaboul and Sandro. No doubt the absence of Gareth Bale will be most apparent, as he is the driving force of the Spurs this season.
The team of Basel is achieving impressive results this season. Basel are unbeaten in a home match, and the last time the team conceded a goal at home was on Oct. 7, 2012. After the great performance of their favorites, the supporters of Basel are already dreaming of the Europa League trophy, which will confirm the team`s astonishing results so far.
The road to the trophy for the hosts, however, is going through the serious team of Tottenham, who even without its stars will be highly motivated to win this match. Villas Boas often expresses his great desire to win the title of the Europa League and the Spurs actually possess the qualities to do so. Even without Bale the team did not play badly against Everton despite the 2:2 draw and this definitely gives confidence to Tottenham.
