Preview: Asteras Tripolis vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Sports Mole looks ahead to Thursday's meeting between Asteras Tripolis and Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League.

Tottenham Hotspur travel to Greece to face Asteras Tripolis in the Europa League on Thursday knowing that a victory will boost their hopes of reaching the last 32.

Spurs are currently in second place in Group C with five points, but they only trail leaders Besiktas on goal difference with three games remaining.

Their last outing in Europe was two weeks ago when a Harry Kane hat-trick saw them thrash Asteras 5-1 in the reverse fixture at White Hart Lane.

However, the Greeks head into the match just one point behind Tottenham and a win on Thursday would likely turn the group on its head.

Following his recent heroics in front of goal, Kane is in line to start for Spurs in place of either Emmanuel Adebayor or Roberto Soldado. Kyle Naughton and Nabil Bentaleb are both doubtful for the visitors.

Ederson Tormena, Ritchie Kitoko and Dimitris Kourbelis are all expected to miss out for the hosts.
