Fixture Focus - Spurs (8 Oct 2012)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Nogometni Klub Maribor
(Europa League Group Stage)


Putting behind the “worst performance of the season” as quoted by AVB in our game against Wigan, Spurs are facing another visitor to the Lane, the Slovenian side NK Maribor.

There has been some good news filtering through from the press that Dembele is likely to return to the starting line-up, though this will subject to confirmation. Lloris will take over the goalkeeper position in the usual rotation way, and fellow Frenchman Gallas is poised to start as well, despite some concerns to his hamstring.

Maribor, after having earned a draw at home, will be facing the Lane crowd and try to get a result. Statistically speaking, Slovenian clubs have a bad record against their English counterparts, with 4 games lost out of 6.

With 3 Europa draws in a row and a dismal recent home performance, Spurs is hoping to break these records and set them straight.

COYS!
