Preview: Tottenham v POAK

Tottenham will look to make home advantage count as they host PAOK in the UEFA Europa League Group A, with the Greek side three points away from a round of 32 berth.

A youthful Spurs side earned a 0-0 draw in Salonika when the teams met for the first time on match day one, with PAOK coming closest to taking the three points; Lino missed a first-half penalty and Vladimir Ivić headed against the bar in added time.

PAOK met Spurs' north London rivals Arsenal FC in the 1997/98 UEFA Cup first round, prevailing 1-0 in Salonika and then drawing 1-1 in London. That is their only previous tie against an English side.

Spurs took on Olympiacos FC as UEFA Cup holders in their only previous tie against Greek opponents in the second round of the 1972/73 UEFA Cup; they lost their only game on Greek soil to date 1-0, having won the home tie 4-0 a fortnight earlier.

Tottenham are unbeaten in three UEFA Europa League home games this season. They ended last season's campaign with a 1-0 White Hart Lane loss to Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals; that is their only defeat at home in their last 13 European games.

PAOK come to White Hart Lane on a six-game unbeaten run away from home in UEFA competition; three wins and three draws since losing 1-0 at Villarreal in last season's UEFA Europa League group stage. That remains their only defeat in their last 12 continental fixtures on the road.
