Time might be running out for NEC if they fail to win this game, having lost their opening Group D fixture at NK Dinamo Zagreb on Matchday 1. Tottenham atoned for their 0 defeat at Udinese Calcio on Matchday 1 with a 0 win against Dinamo on November. A win against NEC would most likely help them progress to the Round of. Only once in the first four years of the UEFA Cup group stage has a total of six points not been enough to qualify, with Rangers missing out in the 00/0 competition. This will be NEC and Tottenham's first meeting in UEFA club competition. NEC have never met an English side in a competitive game before, but Tottenham have played matches against top Dutch teams over the years, winning six, drawing three and losing three. Of their games in the Netherlands, they have won four and lost two. Tottenham players will remember only too well that they were knocked out of last season's UEFA Cup Round of 1 by PSV Eindhoven, losing at home and winning away but going down on penalties. Current Spurs goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes was on the winning side in that tie, with the Brazilian moving to Tottenham during the summer. Last season's PSV defeat was not the north London club's first taste of disappointment in the Netherlands. Having drawn at home, they lost 0 to Feyenoord in the second leg of the / UEFA Cup final. NEC coach Mario Been played against Tottenham during his time as a midfielder at Feyenoord. In what was his first game in UEFA club competition Been came off the bench at the De Kuip Stadium as his side went down 0 to Tottenham in the second leg of a / UEFA Cup secondround tie. Feyenoord had lost the first leg in London. Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp, who left Portsmouth to replace Juande Ramos at White Hart Lane on October, faced Dutch opposition during his time in charge of West Ham United. His side beat SC Heerenveen home and away in a 99 UEFA Intertoto Cup semifinal. NEC's Arkadiusz Radomski was part that Heerenveen side. Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard scored the only goal for West Ham in that first leg. Last updated.11.00 1::09CET Match background 1
