Spurs used their Europa League get out of jail free card in the San Siro two weeks ago when they almost blew a 3-0 first leg lead against AC Milan. They needed a vital Adebayor away goal in extra time in Italy to get to this point but their home performance was nothing short of sensational, with the exceptional Gareth Bale the star of the show.

Tottenham have won their last four home matches in this competition, scoring 11 goals and they will win again here, especially given that Basel have not won away in this seasons Europa League. They succumbed to a narrow 1-0 defeat in Zenit in the previous round but it was their 2-0 home victory that sent them through. Spurs’ attacking threat with Bale providing both the ammunition and the goals will be too much for the Swiss side to handle so expect Tottenham to take a commanding advantage to Switzerland.
