Key players to watch in Tottenham Hotspur vs Qarabag FK

Timo Werner (Tottenham Hotspur)

The star striker has barely got minutes to show his class, since his arrival on loan. He has operated from the wings in three EPL games, only to run in the dying minutes. He did play in the EFL Cup aka Carabao Cup game, but failed to score there.

A goal in the Europa will boost his morale and may enhance the chances of him being regular in the team. All he needs to take care of is keeping shots on target.

Matheus da Silva (Qarabag FK)

Right-back Matheus da Silva will have a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders. The 26-year-old Brazilian will need to use his pace and tackling skills to counter the speedy wingers of Tottenham.

He has fared well in the domestic league, now it’s time for him to shine on the European stage. He also needs to move top and cater to the midfield if needed.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Qarabag FK Prediction

This should be an easy win for hosts Tottenham Hotspur. They hail a stronger side, and will also have the enormous support of home fans. Qarabag FK, entering with a good form are predicted to give s strong fight, but it might not be enough for them to stand for long against the English Premier League giants.
