Betting tips for Tottenham vs Gent - 23.02.2017

Tottenham and Gent will face each other this Thursday in the second leg of last 32 round in UEFA Europa League. Surprisingly, the Belgians won the first leg, 1-0 at home, a week ago.

Spurs are playing home matches at a different stadium, but they are very strong with the fans behind anyway. Their main target this season remains Top 4 race in Premier League, but they probably want a good run in Europa League too. To qualify in the last 16 round, the Londoners need to win by at least two goals here. It should be really difficult, since they have a much stronger squad and Pochettino is likely to field a strong eleven.

Gent come here to defend the first leg result and it is not excluded to see them using a very defensive system, with five players at the back. According to reports, they will field a 3-4-2-1 formation, but this one could easily become a 5-4-1 formation. It is good to know that there are no missing players in the away squad. Gent's away record is not good at all, ticking only three draws and three losses in the last six trips.

Tottenham vs Gent probable lineups:

Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Lloris - Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies - Winks, Wanyama - Heung-Min, Alli, Eriksen - Kane.

Gent (3-4-2-1): Rinne - Gigot, Mitrovic, Asare - Foker, Esiti, Dejaegere, Saief - Milicevic, Simon - Perbet.
