Tottenham vs Pacos: Europa Conference League prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news, lineups, h2h, odds
Tottenham tonight need to turn around their Europa Conference League qualifier against FC Pacos de Ferreira if they are to reach the group stage of Uefa’s new competition.
Spurs kicked off their Premier League season with an encouraging 1-0 win over champions Manchester City, though they then fell to a meek 1-0 defeat against Pacos as Nuno Espirito Santo named a young lineup in Portugal.
Tottenham bounced back with a return to winning ways in the League against Wolves, and this tie is far from over given Nuno can restore some big names to his starting XI - including the likes of Harry Kane.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Tottenham vs FC Pacos de Ferreira is scheduled for a 7:45pm BST kick-off today - Thursday, August 26, 2021.
The match will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London.

Tottenham vs Pacos prediction
Nuno finds himself in a tricky position: does he trust his young players to dig themselves out of a hole, or does he call on his star names? It could be a little bit of both - and if Spurs’ big players make an early impact, they should have enough to progress to the group stages.
Spurs to win 2-0 and qualify.
