Your support makes all the difference.Tottenham Hotspur are hosting Dinamo Zagreb tonight as Jose Mourinho’s side look to take another step toward European glory. Inconsistency has blighted Spurs’ campaign, both domestically and in the group stage of their Europa League campaign, but more recently they have found a positive groove with key attackers finding form. Gareth Bale, Dele Alli and Harry Kane have all been impressive at times recently, giving the boss options to rotate his team.
Dinamo have yet to lose a game in the Europa League this season and finished top of the group ahead of Wolfsberger – who Spurs knocked out in the last round. This last-16 clash will see Tottenham start as favourites, but they know they’ll have to be near their best to continue their progression through this competition, with the ultimate aim of winning the trophy and securing a spot in next season’s Champions League.

RECENT FORM
Spurs have rediscovered winning ways of late, taking four successive victories in all competitions.
Wolfsberger, Burnley, Fulham and Palace might not be the strongest run of opponents, but consistency and confidence appear to be just as important factors this season as tactical cohesion and technical quality are in ‘normal’ campaigns, so perhaps Jose’s side are clicking at the right time.
CROATIAN OPPOSITION
For a reference point as to how good the Croatian side might be tonight, they topped their group stage unbeaten - with the second-place team being Wolfsberger AC.
That Austrian team were Spurs’ opponents in the last knock-out round and Mourinho’s team swept them aside with ease.
In the groups, Dinamo beat Wolfsberger 1-0 at home and 3-0 away. Spurs won 4-1 away, 4-0 at home.
EUROPA LEAGUE LAST 16
Evening all! It’s another Europa League night and Spurs are still going strong - though it’s a step-up in opposition quality tonight, against Dinamo Zagreb.
