[Image] Predicted 4-2-3-1 Tottenham XI to face Olympiacos – Can Mourinho get another win?

Tottenham vs Olympiacos prediction: Tottenham line-up

Tottenham welcome Olympiacos to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for their Champions League Group B clash on Tuesday.

Jose Mourinho’s tenure began with a long overdue away win as West Ham were beaten 3-2 on Saturday. The Portuguese will look to register a victory in the Champions League as well.

Spurs have seven points from their opening four games and trail group leaders Bayern Munich by five points. They can secure their place in the Champions League knockout stages with a win on Tuesday.
