Tottenham Hotspur are back in European competition this season and are considered strong contenders for the Europa League title.
They face eight opponents in the league phase: Roma, Rangers, AZ Alkmaar, Galatasaray, Hoffenheim, Elfsborg, Ferencvaros, and Qarabag.
Under the new Europa League format, each team plays eight league phase matches to rank in a 36-team table. The top eight teams advance to the knockout stages, while teams ranked 9-24 enter a playoff for a chance to progress.
Spurs vs Qarabag
Tottenham start their Europa League journey with a home match against Qarabag FK on September 26, 2024. Despite the unpredictable nature of cup competitions, Spurs are expected to secure a straightforward win.
Spurs vs Ferencvaros
Their next game is an away trip to Hungary to face Ferencvaros on October 3, 2024. While away games are challenging, Tottenham should still be favored to win.
Spurs vs AZ Alkmaar
On October 24, 2024, Spurs host AZ Alkmaar at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Despite AZ Alkmaar’s strong finish in the Eredivisie last season, Tottenham’s home advantage should give them the upper hand.
Spurs vs Galatasaray
One of the toughest fixtures will be an away game against Galatasaray on November 7, 2024. The challenging atmosphere at RAMS Park could pose problems for Spurs.
Spurs vs Roma
The significant home clash against Roma takes place on November 28, 2024. Roma, who reached the final in 2023, will be a formidable opponent, but Spurs might benefit from their home support.
Spurs vs Rangers
On December 12, 2024, Tottenham visit Glasgow to face Rangers. The atmosphere at Ibrox will be intense, but Spurs are expected to edge out a narrow victory.
Spurs vs Hoffenheim
In the New Year, Spurs travel to Germany to play Hoffenheim on January 23, 2025. Hoffenheim, who finished just outside the top six in the Bundesliga, could be a tougher challenge than anticipated.
Spurs vs Elfsborg
The final league phase game is on January 30, 2025, against Elfsborg at home. Despite Elfsborg’s strong performance last season, Tottenham should be expected to win comfortably.
If the predictions hold true, Spurs would end the league phase with 17 points from five wins, two draws, and one loss, likely securing a top-eight spot and automatic qualification for the knockout rounds.
