Tottenham Hotspur vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Ange Postecoglou’s men are trailing by a goal.

Tottenham Hotspur are ready to host AZ Alkmaar in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League 2024-25 round of 16. The first leg ended in the favour of AZ as Lucas Bergvall netted in an own goal. Spurs had a loose attack but controlled the ball for a good amount of time. Both sides will have to come up with a different set of plays this time.

Tottenham Hotspur will be at home, which is a clear confidence booster for them. They will surely come up with some attacking football from the start. Their run in the Premier League has been below average this season but they are still in a race to win the UEFA Europa League title.

AZ Alkmaar will be comfortable even away from their home as they have a one-goal advantage. The team will be looking to net in a goal or two to get close to a win. It is not going to be an easy affair for them as Spurs will come up with a fight to stay alive in the Europa League.

Players to Watch

Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur)

The South Korean winger is going to have a big role to play. Son Heung-min has not been able to score many goals this season for Tottenham Hotspur. This is the right time for him to step up and come up with a much-needed top performance. Son has scored three goals in seven UEL games for Spurs in the ongoing season.

Troy Parrott (AZ Alkmaar)

The visitors will rely on the Irish forward Troy Parrott. Although he has not scored any goals in the last five matches for AZ Alkmaar, Parrott has come up with some decent performances this season. By adding a goal or two to his tally, he can lead AZ to an easy win here.

Match Facts
