Tottenham Hotspur vs AZ Alkmaar
Tottenham Hotspur will look to overturn a 1-0 deficit when they host AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA Europa League round of 16 second leg.
Spurs were not at their best in the first leg but will believe they can turn things around in front of their fans. They are unbeaten at home in Europe and should claim the upper hand over the Dutch side.
Tottenham Hotspur Form
It was a poor performance for Tottenham in the first leg as they struggled to create much and finished with just one attempt on target. Manager Ange Postecoglou believes his team can play better and will be keen to see some improvement on Thursday.
Tottenham head into this clash with a decent home record, unbeaten in three of their last four matches, although they were held to a 2-2 Premier League draw by Bournemouth on Sunday. Spurs have also remained unbeaten at home in the Europa League, winning three of their last four matches.
Despite the return of defenders Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, Tottenham continue to struggle at the back and are without a clean sheet in five of their last six matches in Europe. They have scored in seven of their eight Europa League matches, with five of those fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.
AZ Alkmaar Form
It was a comfortable evening in the first leg for AZ Alkmaar, who did not have to face much attacking threat from Tottenham Hotspur. Lucas Bergvall's first half own-goal proved the difference.
AZ Alkmaar's overall form has been solid lately, having gone unbeaten in in eight of their last nine matches across all competitions. However, they are winless in all five of their away matches in the Europa League, suffering three defeats in that run.
Maarten Martens’ men have quality going forward but are also poor at the back, scoring and conceding in their last three Europa League matches. All three fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals.
Head to Head
AZ Alkmaar's first leg win means both teams have now claimed one win each in two previous meetings. Tottenham earned a 1-0 home win when they met during the league phase of the competition.
Verdict
Tottenham are expected to show some improvement from the first leg and come into this one with three winsfrom their last four Europa League home matches. They should have the upper hand against AZ Alkmaar, who are yet to win on the road in Europe.
Both teams have scored in AZ Alkmaar's last three Europa League away matches, with all three producing over 2.5 goals. Thursday’s clash should follow a similar pattern.
