International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Tottenham Hotspur and LASK Linz are looking forward to this Europa League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
Spurs have less rest than LASK Linz in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Premier League game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus West Ham United, was also a home game here at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The away team is better rested.
It's quite the trip for LASK Linz when visiting Spurs as the cities are 1300 kilometers apart.
