Dinamo Zagreb will host Tottenham in the second leg of the Europa League last-16 round on Thursday. The kick-off is at 18:55 CET.

Preview

There's little hope in Zagreb's camp over their chances to make it to the EL quarter-finals this season as Dinamo were beaten 2-0 at Tottenham in the first-leg encounter last week. Even though the Croats managed to bounce back from that defeat by beating Varazdin in the domestic league over the weekend. What makes Zagreb's situation even more miserable is the fact that Zoran Mamic stepped down as a head coach earlier this week after being sentenced to four years and eight months in prison for fraud.

Spurs, for their part, followed their first-leg victory by a bitter 2-1 loss to Arsenal in the North London derby on Sunday and thus will be looking to return to winning ways on Thursday. Jose Mourinho's men, however, are set to be without Son Heung-min in Croatia as he suffered a hamstring injury against the Gunners. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, meanwhile, is suspended for this one.

Sadegh Moharrami is the only confirmed injury absentee in Damir Krznar's squad who has replaced Mamic in the dugout.

Prediction

Harry Kane netted two past Dinamo last week and it looks like the Englishman will be starting Thursday's encounter again with Son Heung-min on the sidelines. Spurs are looking for their first trophy in 13 years this season and the Europa League provides Mourinho's side with a perfect opportunity to end their wait. We'd go for a narrow win for Tottenham in this one.
