UEFA Champions League action returns to Tottenham Stadium on Tuesday evening as Tottenham takes on FC Copenhagen.
Still unbeaten after three games played in the UCL, Tottenham come into this fixture looking to bounce back from a dismal performance against Chelsea on Sunday. Contrastingly, Copenhagen arrives in London in winning form after a narrow Superliga win against Frederica on Saturday.
Now set for their first-ever ever meeting, Tottenham are short-priced favourites to claim victory on Tuesday.
		
			
		
	
Tottenham team overview
Tottenham come into Tuesday's Champions League contest looking to recover their confidence after a dreadful performance in Saturday's 1:0 home defeat against Chelsea. In a lacklustre display, the Lilywhites mustered just three shots and an XG of 0.05 as they fell to a deserved home reversal.
After a bright start to the season, Thomas Frank's side have gone off the boil in the past month or so. Tottenham failed to win six of their last eight games, with defeats recorded in their last two outings against Chelsea (1:0) and Newcastle (2:0) in the EFL Cup.
A lack of firepower has been a big issue for Tottenham, who have failed to score in three of their last four games. All three of those matches finished with under 2.5 goals scored.
Head coach Frank seems certain to make changes to his first XI on Tuesday. Xavi Simons, Cristian Romero, Richarlison, Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson and Wilson Odobert are all contenders to earn recalls to the starting selection.
Lucas Bergvall misses out after picking up a concussion against Chelsea, and the Swede joins Yves Bissouma, Dominic Solanke, Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Ben Davies, Kota Takai and Archie Gray on the Spurs sidelines. Mathys Tel also misses out due to ineligibility.

FC Copenhagen team overview
FC Copenhagen arrive in England after back-to-back domestic victories in the past week. Having eased past Hobro with a 4:1 win in the Oddset Pokalen, Jacob Neestrup's men claimed a 3:2 success against FC Frederica on Saturday.
Still searching for their first win in the UCL, league phase, Copenhagen have picked up just one point from three games played, with a 2:0 defeat suffered in their most recent road trip against Qarabag.
A lack of firepower on their European travels has been an issue this season, and the Danes are likely to deploy a safety-first approach to Tuesday's matchup. Three of Copenhagen's last five UCL games finished with under 2.5 goals scored.
Head coach Neestrup is unable to call on several players this week. Thomas Delaney, Oliver Hojer, Magnus Mattsson, Rodrigo Huescas and Birger Meling are definite absentees while arcos Lopez faces a late fitness test.

Prediction
Tottenham have been in poor form lately, but should still have enough quality to claim a low-scoring win on Tuesday.
Under 2.5 goals is my preferred pick at Tottenham Stadium.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Under 2.5 Goals
- Tottenham have seen under 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 matches
 - Tottenham failed to score in 3 of their last 4 matches
 - FC Copenhagen have seen under 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 5 matches (Champions League)
 
Main prediction Tottenham Hotspur - FC Copenhagen
Under 2.5 goals
