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

Aside from a careless penalty, last week’s contest went just about perfectly for Tottenham Hotspur in Budapest. Spurs took care of business against Austrian side Wolfsberger with a convincing 1-4 performance, bringing home a three-goal advantage. Despite the club’s poor recent form, the second leg of the Europa League Round of 32 tie is mostly academic at this point.

Tottenham was always going to be a heavy favorite, but Jose Mourinho played a relatively strong XI in the away leg. It was also a good opportunity to bring Gareth Bale back into the side, though, and he responded with a goal and an assist of Heung-Min Son; Lucas Moura and Carlos Vinicius were the other goalscorers last Thursday.

With Spurs quickly tumbling down the Premier League table, the biggest focus for Mourinho will now be the Europa League. However, given the sizeable cushion over Wolsberger after the first leg, this match is not exactly one that should cause too much stress will allow for some rotation.

Because Arsenal is also hosting a second leg this week, UEFA moved Tottenham’s home fixture to Wednesday (which is as close to the Champions League as we might experience for a while...). Given the number of substitutes allowed in the Europa League, some of the youth should see the pitch as Spurs look to see this one out as simply as possible.
