Focus Fixture - Spurs (19 Sep 2013)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Tromsø Idrettslag
(Europa League Group Stage)

Our first Europa League group game will be at home turf against the Norwegian side Tromsø IL, whose homeground is situated within the Arctic Circle.

Other than Capoue, Chadli and Lennon out due to injuries, AVB would have a variety of players to choose from for this game, since the squad was boosted with new purchases during the transfer window.

Tromsø came through a long way to reach this phase of the competition. Though finished 4th in the Tippeligaen (Norwegian Premier League) last season, they have been struggling this season and in danger of relegation (note: the Norwegian Premier League season lasts from March to November).

Spurs are the favourites to win this, although Tromsø had just won the Tippeligaen leader Rosenborg over the weekend and might carry that winning momentum to WHL.

COYS!
