LiontipsTottenham vs Pacos de Ferreira. Prediction and Betting Tips for UEFA Europa Conference League (August 26, 2021).
Command Analysis
The Spurs were just a few points short of making the Europa League, but it is not clear whether Tottenham are genuinely interested in the Conference League. Nuno Espirito Santo's charges suffered a shocking defeat in the first leg last week (0:1) and didn't make a single shot on target. However, the Londoners didn't even play with their strongest lineup.
The Spurs will look to overturn the result of the first-leg game. Tottenham head into this fixture as the favourite.
The Beavers finished fifth last season, which is a fairly good result, since it was almost impossible to catch up with the Top 4. Pacos de Ferreira started their European campaign with a match against Larne. They crushed the opponent at home (4:0), and lost in the second leg (0:1). And the same time, Pacos de Ferreira had a successful performance in the Portuguese Cup. In the final round of the Conference League qualification, Jorge Simao's men got a surprise win over Tottenham (1:0). The winning goal was scored by Lucas Silva in the 45th minute.
Now the Beavers are heading to London to secure their first-leg win, which will take them into the group stage of the Conference League.

Tip and bets
Tottenham wanted to rest their main players and paid for that with a defeat in Portugal. The Spurs must win at home if they want to get into the Conference League. For Pacos de Ferreira, an opportunity to play in the European club competition is a big achievement. They probably need this tournament more, than Tottenham. The Portuguese will park the bus and defend their advantage. We believe that this strategy will pay off.
Our prediction - handicap (+2) to Pacos de Ferreira
The hosts will attack and pressure their opponents in order to get a win, and the visitors will sit back and defend with all their forces. The Spurs can score a goal or two, but we do not expect a crushing defeat.
Second wager - total under 3 goals.
