LASK vs. Tottenham Hotspur: Europa League game time, TV channels, how to watch

Advancing from the Europa League Group Stage always seems like a formality, but the matches still need to be played. Tottenham Hotspur has experienced one hiccup thus far, but any result on Thursday would clinch a top-two spot in Group J and a place in the Round of 32. With some key Premier League fixtures on the docket, not having to worry about next week’s final Group Stage contest would be nice.

Spurs will be expected to take care of LASK, a side who they beat 3-0 to open the round in October. An early strike by Lucas Moura was soon followed by an own goal by the visitors off a Gareth Bale pass, and the match was just about over from there. A late tally by Heung-Min Son was the finishing touch, but it was clear well before then that the two sides are not quite equal.

Tottenham remains hot, as Sunday’s draw against Chelsea was the first time Jose Mourinho’s team failed to win in six matches. The manager continues to take the Europa League somewhat seriously, though he can likely get by with plenty of rotations on Thursday, especially given the talent gap.

All it takes is a draw for Spurs to move on in the competition, but three points will be the goal in Austria. With the North London Derby slated for this weekend, maybe as important as advancing is keeping the momentum. After some late collapses earlier in the season, things are going just about as well as possible for Tottenham lately, and there is no sense is ending the good times now.

Match thread rules

The match thread rules are the same as always. To any visitors coming here for the first time, welcome! We’re glad you’re here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages at this outstanding site. While you’re here, though, we have a few rules and regulations:

• Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They’re bad and they get us in trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
• We have rules against “relentless negativity.” Nobody likes a Negative Nancy. Don’t knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you’re frustrated.
• Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is also not allowed. It’s fine to say “wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
• Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an unmoderated message board.
• Finally, while we don’t have a rule against profanity, please try and keep the naughty words in check. Also, language that is sexist, racist, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you will be immediately banned. This is an open, supportive community.
