Tottenham Hotspur vs AZ Alkmaar Preview
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur have made a strong start in the Europa League and is well-positioned to claim the top spot in the overall table. In their first-round match against Qarabağ, the London club faced a setback when they were reduced to ten players in the seventh minute. Despite this challenge, they managed to defeat their opponents 3-0.
Several players from the starting lineup contributed significantly to this victory, showcasing a clear advantage in individual skill over their opponents.

In the second-round match away against Ferencváros, Tottenham secured a 2-1 win without much difficulty. Young players like Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Mikey Moore, and Will Lankshear were all in the starting lineup and proved their worth.
In the second half, specifically the 66th minute, some key attacking players entered the match. However, even without them, the London club dominated and secured a convincing victory.
Overall, Tottenham boasts a high-quality squad and demonstrates a level of play that would even be competitive in top Champions League matches. Therefore, they should have no trouble reaching the latter stages of the Europa League.

However, AZ Alkmaar presents a tougher challenge than Qarabağ and Ferencváros and the English club may need to put in extra effort to secure a win. Nonetheless, it is unlikely that Tottenham will field their strongest lineup due to their demanding schedule in the Premier League and League Cup.

AZ Alkmaar has lost four consecutive matches, including a 0-2 away defeat against Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League.
Following a strong start to the current season, AZ has experienced a sharp decline in performance, largely due to injuries and a challenging match schedule.

They managed to secure a victory in their opening Europa League match against Elfsborg with a 3-2 score, demonstrating dominance throughout the game.
However, in their last four matches, AZ created very few chances, scoring only two goals while conceding seven. It’s hard to see how the Dutch club could pose a challenge to Tottenham.
Last season in the Europa Conference League, Alkmaar played two matches against another English club, Aston Villa. In the first match at home, the Dutch team lost 1-4, and in the second match, they fell to Villa with a score of 1-2. The disparity in player quality was notable, making it relatively easy for Unai Emery’s team in those matches.
Tottenham Hotspur vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction
Pick: Tottenham Hotspur to win
Odds: 1.43 (22Bet)
Score prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 AZ Alkmaar
Ange Postecoglou is likely to give most of the first-team players a rest, but even without them, Tottenham is capable of securing a victory in this match. The London club has demonstrated in previous Europa League games that they can effectively press and execute smart positional attacks, even with younger players.

On the other hand, the visiting team is currently experiencing a crisis and is unlikely to present any significant challenges to the hosts.
A victory for Tottenham seems like a strong choice ahead of this match.
Tottenham Hotspur vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction, Betting Tip
Pick: Tottenham Hotspur Total Over 1.5
Odds: 1.4 (22Bet)
Tottenham has scored five goals in their last two Europa League matches, and they are expected to continue playing an attacking style in the upcoming game.
The visitors lack the resources to effectively contain the English club’s offense, so we can anticipate that Spurs will score more than one goal in this match.
