Player to watch – Adama Traore
Adama Traore was a one-man wrecking ball against TNS in last week’s first leg and the Malian attacker netted a fantastic hattrick in Ferencvaros’ 5-0 triumph in Hungary.
Traore to threaten again
Traore’s blend of pace and skill was too potent for TNS to handle last week and the 29-year-old has the talent to punish the same defence on Tuesday. Traore had completed his hattrick by the 55-minute mark last week and he could be a useful anytime goalscorer candidate again in the second leg.
