Fixture Focus - Spurs (21 Feb 2013)

Olympique Lyonnais vs Tottenham Hotspur
(Europa League Round of 32, 2nd Leg)

European action is back again later this evening as Spurs will be travelling to Lyon, home of our French opponent Olympique Lyonnais, with the current aggregate score of 2-1.

With no league or FA Cup action over the weekend, Spurs will be entering this game fresh after a full week’s break. AVB is expected to field the same side that faced the French at the Lane. With Bale’s form on the rise, he may be expected to be at centrestage for this game.

Lyon got a crucial away goal and will try to overturn the aggregate score with their home ground advantage. In between the Europa games, they had beaten Bordeaux 4-0 in the French Ligue 1 game and this may boost their morale.

This game will be hot, and with news of Spurs fans being attacked (hope they are well), it will become even hotter.

COYS!
