Ange should feel under pressure to rest a few key players towards addressing some abysmal league form but they also need a win to be certain of staying in the top 8. It might be fortunate that Elfsborg should be happy with a draw because Tottenham continue to look fatigued and brittle. Tottenham 1-1 Elfsborg
To be knocked out the top 8, Tottenham would have to be overtaken by three teams. If Tottenham lose they can be potentially be overtaken by nine teams although two of these teams play each other (Ranger and Union). If Tottenham draw the number of teams that can over take them drops to six: Anderlecht would need a home win; FC FCSB would need a home win; Galatasaray would need an away win; Bodoe/Glimt would need an away win; Viktoria Plzen would need an away win; and Olympiacos would need an home win. Also Lyon and Mancheser United would need to avoid defeat. Note that Mancheser United and FC FCSB play each other. If Tottenham win they stay in the top 8.
Elfsborg can no longer make the top 8 even if they win but a point is likely to be enough to stay in the competition. To be knocked out the competition, they would have to be overtaken by five teams. Even if they lose there are seven possible teams that can overtake them but two of them play each other: Twente and Besiktas). Hence, only six of those seven can finish above them. If Elsborg draw neither Twente or Braga can finish above them they can potentially rise three places (PAOK and Real Sociedad play each other). To be knocked out all five teams below them need to win and three teams below them need to draw or better. If Elsborg win they are certain of staying in the competition.

Only a mad man would bet in this game.
@Marbella Agreed lol
Spurs have not lost in 7 consecutive home European games.
Elfsborg double chance and Brentford to win on the weekend 9/1 odds
@IanWright Those seem ridiculously good odds. I can totally see that happening.
