Tottenham are having a terrible time in the Premier League but going a bit better in cup competitions. They are sixth in the Europa League and are home on Thursday evening to 20th placed Elfsborg. Can the Lilywhites automatically reach the last 16? Read our match prediction.
After seven games, Tottenham are in the automatic qualification places but only a point above ninth place. A win over Elfsborg will definitely see them avoid the play-offs. If they were to draw, they should still automatically qualify, especially with two of the top eight playing each other. A defeat though will have them nervously looking over their shoulders hoping sides currently below them don't win or draw their final fixture.
Elfsborg are in a more precarious position and will either finish in the unseeded play-off positions or be eliminated. They are two points clear of 25th place and a win will see them stay in the competition. A draw is likely to do the same but a defeat at the new White Hart Lane could end their European season.

Tottenham - IF Elfsborg: Form Analysis
Tottenham have won four of their seven games in this stage of the Europa League. Their only defeat so far was a 3-2 loss away at Galatasaray. Home form has been good for the Whites with wins over Qarabag and AZ with the other match being a 2-2 draw with Roma.
It's not going so well for them in the Premier League with three of their last four matches being lost. They've slumped to 15th in the table but are going well in cup competitions with a good chance of reaching the Carabao Cup final.
Elfsborg are struggling away from home.
Elfsborg have the disadvantage of not playing in their domestic league at present. Since November 10 they've only played friendlies and in the Europa League. Three of their seven games in this league phase have been won but the same number lost.
Only one of their first five games were won but they've since beat Qarabag and Nice at home. Their last three away Europa League games have all been lost though with ten goals conceded.

Tottenham & IF Elfsborg Squad Analysis
Tottenham's injury problems seem neverending at the moment. The latest player to end up on the treatment bench is Richarlison. He didn't last the whole game against Leicester City on Sunday.
Austin will be in goal for Spurs.
Pape Matar Sarr played on Sunday but Postecoglou says that he shouldn't have been involved in that match. He's a doubt for this game at home to Elfsborg. Antonin Kinsky is not eligible to play for Spurs in this stage of the Europa League, so it'll be Brandon Austin between the sticks.
Djed Spence and Sergio Regulion will also be absent. There's a possibility that Will Lankshear will play in this match, though Heung min-Son is still likely to feature and has been in good form in the Europa League this season. Spurs are hoping James Maddison can return to the side.
Elfsborg have no new injury worries and are likely to field a starting line-up similar to that which beat Nice last week. Jalal Abdullai is likely to be again leading the front line. He came into the side after the Swedes sold Michael Baidoo to Plymouth Argyle.

Our Tottenham vs IF Elfsborg Prediction
Another loss for Tottenham will further increase the pressure on their coach Ange Postecoglou. Their cup results are good though with seven points from their three home Europa League games this season with two clean sheets.
Elfsborg still have a bit of work to do to ensure they go into the play-offs. They made a bad start but have won their last two games but both were on home soil. Their away form in Europe is not good, so our Tottenham v Elfsborg prediction is Tottenham to win and lead at half and full time.
