The South Korean forward is again in the spotlight following the absence of Harry Kane. Having helped Tottenham secure all three points courtesy of his solitary strike against Manchester City, Son will be looking forward to marking his stamp on the game again on Thursday, as it seems more likely that he will be Spurs’ leading man this season.
Son has to score goals against Pacos de Ferreira early so that he can be taken off and given a rest before the weekend Premier League action. He has ample support, as shown over the weekend from the likes of Lucas Moura, but with all the goalscoring burden falling on his shoulders, he has to keep himself fit in the long run.
Prediction
Pacos de Ferreira 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur
If we consider the current form, Tottenham are on a high following their win over Man City, while Pacos are not in the right momentum. While Pacos deserve all the respect for finishing fifth last season, they might have met their toughest opponent right at the play-off stage.
Tottenham are expected to breeze past their Portuguese counterparts and might do that with a healthy scoreline. Expect Spurs to score two or more goals and then follow it up with a comfortable second leg over in north London a week later.

继哈里·凯恩的缺席后,这位韩国前锋再次成为人们关注的焦点。孙兴慜在与曼城队的比赛中,凭借自己的一粒进球,帮助热刺队获得三分。孙兴慜很有可能成为本赛季热刺队的主力球员。
孙兴慜必须在与帕科斯•德•费雷拉的比赛中早早进球,才能在周末的英超联赛比赛之前换下并休息。他有足够的支持,就像周末卢卡斯莫拉那样,但是所有进球的重担都落在他的肩膀上,他必须保持自己在长期的状态。
预测
帕科斯·德·费雷拉0-2托特纳姆热刺
如果我们考虑目前的状态,热刺在战胜曼城后正处于巅峰状态,而帕科斯的势头并不好。虽然帕科斯上赛季获得第五名值得尊敬,但他们可能在附加赛阶段遇到了他们最强大的对手。
托特纳姆热刺有望轻松击败他们的葡萄牙对手,并可能以一个健康的比分做到这一点。期待热刺打进两个或更多的进球,然后一周后在北伦敦的第二回合轻松取胜。
