There are not many strong players in the Europa League this season. Each betting company has expected Tottenham's chances of winning the championship to be higher than ever. In fact, Tottenham confirmed its advance to the round of 16 early on, ranking fourth among 36 teams. It is widely believed that Manchester United, Athletic Bilbao, AS Roma, Lazio, Porto, Frankfurt, and Ajax are enough to play with any team in each league.

Tottenham, which fell to 14th place in the league amid bad news of 10 key players, reinforced three young guns in the winter transfer market. He managed to bring in goalkeeper Antonin Kinski from Prague in the Czech League, centre-back Kevin Danso from Ligue 1 France, and all-weather striker Matistel from Bayern Munich.
Danso and Tel, who made their debuts in Liverpool in the semifinals of the Carabao Cup during the week, were named in the newly established Europa League squad. On the other hand, 21-year-old Czech goalkeeper Kinski, who recently replaced injured No. 1 goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, was excluded. Postecoglou chose Brandon Austin, an English prospect who secured a 3-2 victory over Hoffenheim, as the gatekeeper for the club match instead of Kinski.
He also proved his faith by including Jed Spence, who has been growing every game amid injuries to defenders.
Tottenham will play against one of Real Sociedad, Galatasaray, AZ Alkmaar and Mittilant in the round of 16 in March, depending on how the team to advance to the playoffs is determined. After the match draw on the 21st, the opponent to the quarterfinals will be decided.
