Tottenham Hotspur vs Dinamo Zagreb prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Europa League 2020-21

Ahead of the North London Derby on Sunday, Tottenham Hotspur host Dinamo Zagreb in the first leg of their Europa League round of 16 tie.

Jose Mourinho's side have found form in recent weeks and showed that in abundance in their 4-1 dispatching of Crystal Palace at the weekend.

Gareth Bale and Harry Kane scored twice each as Tottenham strolled past the Eagles in a 4-1 win that moved them up to seventh in the Premier League.

In the previous round of the Europa League, Tottenham were given a rather easy tie against Austrian side Wolfsberger AC. As expected, Spurs brushed their opponents aside as they won 8-1 on aggregate.

Dinamo, on the other hand, had a good win against Krasnodar in the round of 32. After winning 3-2 in the first leg in Russia, they won 1-0 at home to book their place in the next round.

They are also top of the Croatian first division at the moment. With 54 points from 23 games and a game in hand, Dinamo are two points ahead of second-placed NK Osijek.
