Tottenham have made a solid start to their Champions League bid with five points from three games, but they could do with a victory over FC Copenhagen on Tuesday to boost their bid for a top-eight finish.

The visitors have struggled in Europe's top competition with just one point on the board after three rounds of fixtures, although they have shown enough quality in attack to suggest they may be able to cause their hosts a few problems on Tuesday.

Team news

Lucas Bergvall was forced off early in Tottenham's 1-0 defeat to Chelsea at the weekend due to concussion and is now likely to be missing until after the next international break.

Mathys Tel is ineligible for the Champions League, while Yves Bissouma, Dominic Solanke, Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Ben Davies, Kota Takai and Archie Gray are all injured.

The visitors will be without Thomas Delaney, Oliver Hojer, Magnus Mattsson, Rodrigo Huescas and Birger Meling, while Marcos Lopez and Gabriel Pereira are considered doubtful.

The stats

Tottenham are unbeaten in normal time in their last 10 European games, including this season's UEFA Super Cup.

The Lilywhites have conceded in six of their last eight games across all competitions.

FC Copenhagen have scored four goals across their three UCL games, finding the back of the net against both Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen.

FC Copenhagen have scored in eight of their last nine away games and have found the net in four of their five defeats in all competitions this season.

Prediction

Tottenham played out a goalless draw in Monaco in their last Champions League assignment, but Tuesday's visit of Copenhagen should provide more entertainment at both ends.

Spurs have a strong record in Europe dating back to last season as they went all the way to lift the Europa League trophy.

With home advantage and a strong squad, the hosts should be expected to win this game fairly comfortably but the visitors can at least strike in defeat in North London.

Copenhagen have only failed to score in one of their three league phase fixtures. The Danish side held Bayer Leverkusen to a surprise 2-2 draw in their opener, but then went down 2-0 at Qarabag, although their xG of 0.98 in that game indicates they were unfortunate not to at least get on the scoresheet.

Copenhagen also scored twice in defeat against Dortmund and have only failed to score in two of their last 19 games in all competitions.

Spurs have found clean sheets hard to come by with just two in their last eight games.

They conceded twice against Scandinavian opposition in the shape of Bodo/Glimt earlier in the league phase, so Copenhagen look capable of registering a consolation effort in London.
