Tottenham Hotspur begin their European campaign with a trip to Portugal, where Pacos de Ferreira host them at Estadio Capital do Movel on Thursday.

The winners of this tie will progress to the group stage of the inaugural UEFA Conference League, while the losers will be without European football this season.

Pacos de Ferreira qualified for the third round of the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers by finishing fifth in the league standings last season. They defeated Northern Irish opponents Larne 4-1 on aggregate to make this final qualifying round.

Os Casteres come into this game on the back of a shock 0-3 defeat away to Boavista. They had opened their league campaign with a 2-0 victory over Famalicao at home,
Pacos de Ferreira are tricky opponents for Tottenham, especially given Nuno Espirito Santo is likely to rotate his side quite a bit. Denilson could trouble any defense, and with Romero still adjusting to his teammates, there could be problems.

However, with the firepower of Harry Kane likely to be available from the bench, Spurs should have no trouble winning this game in the late stages.

托特纳姆热刺将在葡萄牙开始他们的欧洲之旅，帕科斯·德费雷拉将在周四主场迎战他们。

这场比赛的胜者将进入欧足联首届联赛的小组赛阶段，而败者将失去本赛季的欧洲足球比赛。

帕科斯·德·费雷拉上赛季以联赛第五名的成绩晋级欧联杯第三轮预选赛。他们以总比分4-1击败了北爱尔兰对手拉恩，进入了最后一轮的预选赛。

奥斯·卡斯特在0:3负于博阿维斯塔的比赛中出场。他们在主场以2-0战胜法马利考，开启了联赛之旅，
帕科斯·德·费雷拉对热刺来说是一个棘手的对手，特别是考虑到圣努诺·埃斯皮里托很可能会轮换他的球队。德尼尔森可能会给任何防守带来麻烦，而罗梅罗还在适应他的队友，这可能会有问题。

然而，随着哈里·凯恩的火力很可能在板凳上可用，热刺应该没有困难赢得这场比赛的最后阶段。
