Tottenham vs Maccabi Haifa: Europa League prediction, TV channel, live stream, team news, time, h2h, odds

The next stop in Tottenham's brutal fixture schedule is a key Europa League qualifying play-off tie against Maccabi Haifa tonight.

The visit of the Israeli outfit to north London is the second of three matches involving Spurs this week, with Jose Mourinho's side defeating rivals Chelsea on penalties on Tuesday night to advance through to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.

Tottenham also travel to face Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.

Mourinho will make further changes to cope with such a hectic calendar as the hosts look to secure a place in the group stages of the 2020-21 Europa League, having already overcome Bulgaria's Lokomotiv Plovdiv and KF Shkendija of North Macedonia in earlier qualifying rounds.

Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Maccabi Haifa

Tottenham have shown commendable spirit battling through such a difficult fixture pile-up, with Tuesday's win over Chelsea providing a huge morale boost after the controversy that occurred in the final stages of their Premier League draw against Newcastle.

Mourinho will inevitably have to make further changes here against a team that currently sit top of the Israeli Premier League following successive wins, but he should still be able to field a lineup capable of winning the game and booking Tottenham's place in the Europa League group stages.

Narrow home win.
