There was a time in this season’s Premier League when many believed
Tottenhamhad finally turned into title contenders as they had jumped up the league table to the first spot. But since then Mourinho’s side have proven the believers wrong as they currently sit ninth on the league table, with the title quite out of their reach. While their hopes for winning the Premier League have been dashed, there is still a chance for them to challenge for the
UEFA Europa League 2021 Round of 32
.
According to the Europa League 2021 Round of 32 draw, Tottenham were supposed to go up against Wolfsberg, whom they managed to crush 4-1 in the first leg alone. Now, they are to meet again in the second leg of this round, with the aggregate already against Wolsfberg, as the climb seems almost impossible. Of course while anything is possible in the world of football,
Wolfsberger ACare going to need an absolute miracle to reach the Spurs.

One cannot simply forget that
Ajaxspent more than €22 million to bring in Sebastien Haller, the most expensive signing in Ajax history, only for the striker to be left out of the competition’s Round of 32 due to an administrative error. Of course despite this unfortunate mistake, the Dutch club managed well through the first leg of the
UEFA Europa League 2021 Round of 32
, as they won 2-1 away against Lille.
Now, Ajax will be hosting
Lilleon Thursday, with the French side more than motivated to turn the tides in their favor and complete a comeback. Erik Ten Hag’s side have won all of their last five league games, and they are currently top of the Eredivisie league table with 56 points and a game in hand above PSV Eindhoven. The UEL 2020-21 Round of 32 line ups for the second leg are yet to be announced, but little to no change should be expected in Ajax’s squad and tactics.

Even though La Liga’s reign of power in Europe seems to have deteriorated over the course several years since Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure and with many of the league’s stars retiring, it seems that La Liga clubs are still some of the most powerful and formidable sides in the continent, as
Granada, who are currently ninth in La Liga, have managed to win 2-0 at home against Napoli, who have been going through quite a rough patch this season.
The Italian side will have a difficult time completing a comeback to win against Granada this week, but anything can be expected from the

Even though
Shakhtar Donetskhave never been much of a Champions League contender, they are a formidable side in the Europa League, and Maccabi Tel Aviv have gotten into a David versus Goliath situation, where they need to be at their best to comeback from a 2-0 deficit and somehow beat the odds and win on aggregate, which will be specially difficult due to the fact that they lost their home game against the Ukranian side.
Of course if Shkakhtar managed to score two goals away in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League 2021 Round of 32, then Tel Aviv can in theory score as many goals as well.

Next competing in the UEFA Europa League 2021 Round of 32 are
Rangersand
Antwerp, who will be going head to head for the second leg after quite a thrilling first leg last week, which ended 4-3 as Rangers managed to gain a slight lead away from home.

They have also enjoyed quite a fruitful season, finding the net more than 70 times in the Scottish Premiership.
While Rangers are sailing through towards the league title, Antwerp are struggling to catch Club Brugge in the Belgian Pro League. Of course that does not mean that the Belgian club are going through a rough patch, as they are more than capable of completing a shock comeback against Steven Gerrard’s side. This will definitely be one of the most exciting

Benficaclash is quite difficult to predict. The Gunners are currently sitting tenth in the Premier League, behind Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham.

RB Salzburgin the UEFA Europa League 2021 Round of 32 second leg after an intense 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao in La Liga. While Bilbao players have certainly burned a lot of energy in league match, they will be more than motivated to keep their 2-0 away lead against RB Salzburg, as they aim to qualify for the next round in the competition.
They have hit quite an odd rough patch in the league lately, as they have drawn four of their last five league games, while losing the other one. Unai Emery will be planning on at least getting the same result and drawing against Salzburg, which will be a one-way ticket to the Round of 16.

The first leg of the
Leicester Cityversus
Slavia PrahaUEFA Europa League 2021 Round of 32 was kind of a disappointment, as both clubs drew blanks with the match ending 0-0. But with one leg out of the way without fruition, the second leg will solely play decisive role as even draw other than 0-0 will take Slavia Praha to the next round. The Foxes are certainly in a good mood after their 2-1 win against Aston Villa in the Premier League, and will be aiming to see this one out as well and even challenge for the trophy.

Crvena Zvezdaquite angrily and with a lot of intensity, as they will be aiming to cool off after their 3-0 defeat to Inter in the Serie A, which might have diminished the Rossoneri’s hopes for winning the Scudetto after such a long time.
Serbian SuperLiga leaders Crveba Zvezda have won all five of their last five league matches, and will be hoping to get in front early in the game or at least end the full 90 minutes with the scoreline being 2-2 once again, as anything less than that would see the Serbian side out of the competition.
Milan have hit a rough patch lately, with them losing three of their last five league games, while only winning two. We will have to see if they can once again turn the tides in their favor and go through to the next round in the Europa League.

Manchester United have been the surprise of the season thanks to the brilliance of none other than
Bruno Fernandes, who has single-handedly managed to turn the odds in his club’s favor since joining them in the winter of 2020. One thing is sure about the

Manchester Unitedand Real Sociedad, and that is the fact that Bruno Fernandes will definitely feature for the Red Devils, as he was the one who inspired his team to an emphatic 4-0 away win against the Spanish side.
Real Sociedad are obviously going to need a miracle to overturn the deficit, as they will need at least four goals and a clean sheet only to go into the extra time. The La Liga side are currently fifth in the league and are certainly aiming for a top-four finish, hoping for a slip from Sevilla so that they can move up the ladder.

were caught off guard as they lost the first leg of the Europa League Round of 32 against
Olympiacos. The Greek Super League side managed to put four past PSV goalkeeper and conceded two goals themselves. While they are technically in front going into the second leg, PSV’s two away goals are more valuable than one would think, as they can still complete a comeback simply by scoring two goals and keeping a clean sheet.
Of course as the UEL 2020-21 Round of 32 line ups for this match suggest, this will not be an easy job, as the same squad concede four goals in the away match. Everything is set for a thrilling showdown between the two clubs, as we wait to see who emerges victorious in the end.
