LASK v Tottenham Hotspur live stream, BT Sport 2, Thursday 3 December, 17.55pm GMT
Tottenham only need a draw with LASK on Thursday to book their place in the knockout stage of the Europa League.
A point apiece at the Linzer Stadium would leave Spurs three clear of their hosts, who would then be unable to climb above them due to an inferior head-to-head record. Jose Mourinho will not settle for a draw, though, particularly after his team were held to a scoreless stalemate by Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday.
You can get 10/3 for a draw with Bet365, as well as up to £100 in Bet Credits.
Tottenham have seemingly emerged as title contenders in the early part of 2020/21, but Mourinho is keen to go deep in the Europa League too. He has had success in this competition before, of course, lifting the trophy with Porto in 2003 (back when it was known as the UEFA Cup) and Manchester United in 2016. Mourinho would clearly prefer to be in the Champions League, but he does not want his team to simply make up the numbers in the continent’s secondary competition.
You can get 7/10 for a Tottenham victory with Betfred, as well as £30 in Free Bets + 60 Free Spins when you bet £10.
LASK suffered a 2-0 home loss to Royal Antwerp last time out, and that leaves their qualification hopes hanging by a thread. The hosts need all three points on Thursday to avoid elimination from the Europa League at the group stage.
You can get 7/2 for a LASK victory with Betfair, as well as up to £100 in Free Bets.
Spurs remain without Erik Lamela and Toby Alderweireld, but Mourinho has no fresh injury concerns following the draw with Chelsea. Carlos Vinicius, Dele Alli and Gareth Bale are among the fringe players who will be hoping for a start in Austria.
Kick-off is at 17.55pm GMT and the game is being shown on BT Sport 2 in the UK. See below for watching details where you are.

SEE THE FULL SCHEDULE Premier League live streams: How to watch every game on this weekend
Use a VPN to watch a LASK v Tottenham Hotspur live stream from outside your country
We know, we know, this has crept up on you a bit. So what if you’ve organised a quick winter break and you’re out of the country for the first Champions League week of the season?
We can help. If you’re out of the country for this round of Champions League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address, and you’ll be blocked from watching.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
1. ExpressVPN (inc. 30-day, money-back guarantee)
The recommended VPN of choice. FourFourTwo’s brainy pals TechRadar love ExpressVPN's lightning-quick connections, security you can trust, and the fact it works with Android, Apple, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PS4 plus plenty more. It also comes with that money-back guarantee, has 24/7 support, is currently available for a 49% discount and with three months FREE. Grand.
2. Nord VPN (inc. 30-day, money-back guarantee)
A cheaper option; its cheapest package current averages at a titchy £2.29 per month.
3. IPVanish (inc. seven-day money-back guarantee)
Slightly more expensive but supports up to 10 devices, and you can pay up your hard-earned every three months if required.
