Tottenham will look to take another step towards qualifying for the knockout stages of the Europa Conference League when they travel to Slovenia to face NS Mura on Thursday.

Spurs have had some mixed results in Europe's third-tier competition, winning two of their four games alongside a draw and a loss. However, a victory here could see them reach the preliminary knockout round at the minimum ahead of their final group game against Rennes.

Mura have been in poor form recently, winning just two of their last 11 games. They sit fifth in the Prva Liga and have lost each of their Conference League fixtures so far.

NS Mura vs Tottenham score prediction

Mura have scored just twice in the Europa Conference League group stage so far, have conceded ten and have no chance of qualifying for the latter stages of the competition.

With rotation likely, it probably won't be the most free-flowing performance from the visitors, but they should still be able to carve out enough chances to secure victory in Slovenia.
