3 reasons why Tottenham will beat Gent in the Europa League this evening

Chance to state intent in competition

Like Manchester United, Tottenham have one of the strongest squads left in the Europa League, and have a genuine chance of winning it.

Pochettino’s men were meekly knocked out of the Champions League earlier in the season, but looking at the sides left in Europe’s secondary competition, there aren’t many, if any, that Spurs should fear.

On their day, Spurs can beat any side in England, and many sides around Europe, and they’ll have a real chance of stating some intent by going to Gent and putting in a commanding performance, and securing a commanding result.

Tottenham need silverware, their last trophy came when they won the League Cup nine years ago, and the Europa League represents a great chance to add another trophy to the cabinet.

The prospect of guaranteed qualification for next season’s Champions League, which is far from a done deal in terms of the Premier League, for the winners should be an added incentive for Spurs to go all-out and win the competition.
