Tottenham has two Europa League titles to its name, lifting the crown in 1972 and 1984.

Key Players to Watch in Ferencvaros vs Tottenham Hotspur
Brennan Johnson (Tottenham Hotspur)
Brennan Johnson was entrusted by Ange Postecoglou as the number one choice for the right-wing option. Johnson, though, struggled to make any real impact in the early matches and was subject to heavy criticism and trolling. The Welsh youngster has responded in the most spectacular way with four goals in four games. He found the back of the net in his 45-minute stint against Qarabag. The 23-year-old was instrumental in the victory against Manchester United on Sunday and he will be required to do that again against Ferencvaros on Thursday.
Micky van de Ven (Tottenham Hotspur)
Micky van de Ven is an indispensable part of the backline of Tottenham Hotspur. The Dutchman has been one of the finest recruits for the London club in recent seasons. Van de Ven is not like the orthodox centre-back but is rather the embodiment of the modern game. His tremendous burst into the Manchester United penalty box for the first goal on Sunday highlights the vast variety of skills in his profile. The 23-year-old is blessed with an extraordinary speed and is well aware of using that to his advantage. Micky van de Ven can also shift to the left-hand side of the defence and his movements will be the key to breaking the Ferencvaros setup.
Ferencvaros vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction
Tottenham Hotspur is certainly in line for an interesting and challenging trip to Ferencvaros. This being the first-ever encounter between the two clubs will raise the stakes even higher. Nonetheless, Ange Postecoglou will believe that his squad has more than enough quality both tactically and individually to come away with the three points.
