Spurs have perfect record on home soil in Europe this season
Tottenham look to get their Europa League campaign back on track as they host Roma on Thursday night.
Ange Postecoglou’s side were beaten by Galatasaray before the international break to end their perfect start in Europe, and it leaves them seventh in the league phase of the competition at the halfway stage.
Spurs come into this match on a high, having thrashed Manchester City 4-0 at the Etihad over the weekend, and they now attempt to maintain that form and find the kind of consistency that has eluded them this season.
Roma now have Claudio Ranieri in the dugout, having made a stumbling start to the season. They sit 12th in the Serie A table and have picked up only five points from their four Europa League matches.

Tottenham will be without Guglielmo Vicario, after the goalkeeper required surgery on an ankle injury he picked up in the win over Man City.
Fraser Forster is therefore set to start, as he has for two of Spurs’ European matches this season, and Postecoglou is likely to shuffle his pack.
The likes of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall will hope to start, while Micky van de Ven remains out with a hamstring injury.
As for Roma, Mario Hermoso is pushing to return. Artem Dovbyk is expected to lead the line, but Paulo Dybala could have to settle for a place on the bench.

Confidence should be high in the Spurs camp after such an impressive performance last time out.
Whether Postecoglou’s side can maintain those standards remains to be seen, but they should have enough on home soil to ease past a Roma side who have struggled for much of the campaign.
Tottenham to win, 3-1.
This will be the first competitive match between the two sides.
Tottenham to win: 8/13
Draw: 23/10
Roma to win: 11/4
