Tottenham can nudge into contention for automatic qualification to the last 16 in the Champions League tonight as Slavia Prague make the trip to north London.
A morale-lifting victory over Brentford at the weekend has given Spurs a timely boost, and they now chase successive home wins across all competitions. Another three points could propel them into the top eight of the Champions League league phase depending on other results.
Slavia Prague, meanwhile, arrive with plenty to prove. The Czech champions have already suffered a bruising 3-0 defeat to Arsenal earlier this season and are still searching for their first European win of the campaign. In fact, they haven’t tasted victory in a Champions League match for 18 years.
Spurs, however, won't take them lightly. Slavia frustrated both Atalanta and Athletic Club, meaning Tottenham's inconsistent attack will need to build on Saturday's showing against Brentford.

Spurs vs. Slavia Prague prediction: Who will win?
Spurs should bag another comfortable win tonight despite their patchy run of form. Slavia Prague may have battled to three draws in their five group games, but they haven't found the net since their opening stalemate with Bodo/Glimt.
Across the board, Thomas Frank's men look the stronger outfit, and if they bring the same attacking intent they showed at the weekend, a straightforward win should be well within their grasp.

Tottenham vs. Slavia Prague Final Score Prediction, Match Betting
Keeping both Atalanta and Athletic Club quiet in the Champions League is no small achievement, but Slavia's stubborn defending is unlikely to hold up under the lights in North London.
Despite their struggles domestically, Spurs have approached Europe with the shackles off this season and Thomas Frank's side should be well-placed to cruise to a comfortable win - one that could breathe fresh life into their push for a top-eight finish.
As for Slavia, their attacking threat on the road has been virtually non-existent. A goalless stalemate at Atalanta and a 3-0 defeat to Inter tell the story. There's little reason to believe their fortunes will improve on Tuesday.
