Tottenham Hotspur nevertheless qualified for the organisational stages of the Europa League and did not have to wait long to take off their enemies, as UEFA finished the Europa League draw. Participation in the festival was incredibly vital for Tottenham Hotspur, either on the calendar and from a monetary point of view, as the development team wants the games to be established and the club wants cash to cover development costs.
In the end, Tottenham Hotspur already has 3 wins in the Europa League, but those victories mean little if the team cannot go beyond a very winable level of organization and move on to competition. So, how was the Spurs draw?
Most years, the fear of teams during an organizational draw is dragged into the so-called organization of death. In the Champions League, Europe’s older brother, the foreso profit, was much more likely to be placed in a strong organization. Given the role of the club’s coefficients, Tottenham was in the relegation “boats” of the Champions League draw.
However, in this year’s Europa League, the Spurs had the highest coefficient of the moment, behind Arsenal, meaning the Spurs were going to be in the Top Pot and had a much lower chance of taking on giants. Once again, there aren’t many giants in the Europa League. So the chances were lower at first. That said, Rome and Celtic will have to feel a little more difficult than Arsenal or Tottenham at this stage.
There are 12 AL-labeled teams for the Europa League and, according to the fan vote on the Europe website, groups H and A are the two most difficult. Group A is led by Rome, joined by Young Boys, CFR Cluj and CSKA. Sofia and lately it’s the hardest time with 20% of the vote. Group H is led by Celtic, but also includes Sparta Praha, AC Milan and LOSC Lile; possibly would be the glan of the band’s names, however, more than 30% of enthusiasts see H as the death band. In addition, teams Spurs and Arsenal won only 4% of the vote.
Tottenham Hotspur has moved away from the organization of death, so they ended up with the Spurs have been put in an organization that includes Ludogorets, LASK, Royal Antwerp.
Interestingly, despite all the matches in Europe for both the club and the coach, neither Tottenham Hotspur, the club, nor Jose Mourinho, the coach, have ever faced any of the 3 wary parties attracted by the Spurs.
The 1945 PFC Ludogorets will be a team that will have a familiar feel, as they are the protective champions of the Bulgarian A-League, from which comes the Spurs’ qualifying opponent, Lokomodiv Plovdiv.
Ludogorets qualified after winning a qualifying match after being defeated at the circular time of the Champions League qualifying stage and receiving an acquisition for the Europa League qualifiers.
Linser Athletic-Sport-Klub or LASK qualified from the 3rd circular to qualifying as an unranked team to advance to the organizational stages. LASK comes from the Austrian Bundesliga, which sounds familiar to Spurs enthusiasts, as this is the same league in which FC Salzburg is causing riots. After the Red Bulls’ performances last season, Austrian organizations cannot be overlooked.
Royal Antwerp FC of Belgium is the last team in the Spurs group. Antwerp is lately in the middle of the Belgian Premier League, where enthusiasts would probably be more familiar with Club Brugge, who is the league’s representative in Europe. This season, Antwerp was an automatic qualifier for the Europa League after winning the Belgian Cup last year, similar to the FA Cup.
In the end, Tottenham will have to be the group’s big favourite, the Spurs are currently ranked 12th in UEFA, while Ludogorets are ranked 61st, LASK in 90th and Royal Antwerp at 162nd. We play the game, however, as a Tottenham fan, you must feel smart about the chances of the Spurs progressing as the most sensible seed in Group J.
