Tottenham Team News
Tottenham regained their confidence after securing two consecutive victories in their last two matches. Following a challenging period where they only accumulated 4 points in their first four Premier League games, Ange Postecoglou's side reacted positively, advancing to the next round of the Carabao Cup after defeating Championship side Coventry City 2-1.
Subsequently, they hosted Brentford at home, achieving a 3-1 victory that served as a moral boost ahead of their European adventure. Richarlison is sidelined due to injury, along with Wilson Odobert. It's highly likely that young players like Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray will start, along with Brandon Austin or even Mikey Moore.
Predicted Tottenham lineup vs Qarabag: Austin; Gray, Dragusin, Van de Ven, Davies; Bentancur, Bissouma; Johnson, Bergvall, Moore; Solanke

Tottenham vs Qarabag Score Prediction
The Europa League should provide Ange Postecoglou with some confidence, at least in this match, without underestimating the opponent. While it's a good opportunity to try different things, it's also a chance to correct mistakes and capitalise on them. Tottenham need this win to regain the confidence lost after their shaky start in the Premier League.
I'll stay positive and, with a nod to the past, predict Tottenham 3-1 Qarabag scoreline.
