How to watch Tottenham vs AS Roma in the Europa League
Fresh off a sensational victory over Manchester City, Tottenham return to Europa League action as they prepare to host AS Roma, with the stakes high for both teams in the league phase of the competition.
Where are Tottenham in the Europa League standings?
Tottenham Hotspur enter this encounter on the back of a commanding 4-0 triumph against Premier League champions Manchester City.
This result not only sent a statement to their domestic rivals but also provided a much-needed confidence boost as they aim to solidify their position in Europe.
In the Europa League, Spurs have shown promising form, sitting seventh in the league phase after winning three of their four matches, with their only setback being a narrow 3-2 loss to Galatasaray in matchday four.
This defeat added pressure to Thursday’s game, as a victory over Roma would push them closer to the knockout rounds.
AS Roma, by contrast, have struggled to make an impact, finding themselves 20th in the standings. With just one win, two draws, and a loss in their first four games, they arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium desperate to secure points, though their form suggests they face a daunting task against Ange Postecoglou’s men.
When and where is Tottenham vs AS Roma?
The game will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday, 28 November 2024, with an 8:00 pm kick-off.

Team news
Tottenham will likely be without Wilson Odobert, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Richarlison due to injuries. However, there is optimism regarding Romero’s availability for Spurs’ weekend Premier League fixture.
Rodrigo Bentancur will be eligible for this clash since UEFA competitions are unaffected by his FA ban, though young striker Will Lankshear will miss out after picking up a suspension in the previous game. Mikey Moore’s status remains unclear pending an update from Postecoglou’s pre-match press conference.
For Roma, Alexis Saelemaekers and Mario Hermoso are doubtful, while Eldor Shomurodov has been ruled out as he continues to recover from a muscle injury.
The Spurs Web prediction
Tottenham’s emphatic win against Manchester City demonstrated their ability to rise to the occasion under pressure, and playing in front of a passionate home crowd should provide an additional lift.
With momentum firmly in their favour and Roma struggling for consistency, Spurs are well-positioned to secure another crucial victory.
I predict a 2-0 win for Spurs, with their attacking prowess and defensive organisation proving too much for Roma to handle.
