Tottenham are winless in four matches in Belgium and have only won one of their last seven away matches in the Europa League. Mauricio Pochettino’s side also come into this match off the back of a dreadful 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.
Gent’s results have been disappointing this season but their home form has been strong. They did lose last time out on home soil but that was only their third defeat in 19 home matches in all competitions this season.
Tottenham are favourites to come through this tie but may still have some work to do when they return to London for the second leg.
