- Competition: UEFA Europa League - last 16 1st leg
- Date: Thursday, 6th, March 2025
- Kickoff: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CET
- Venue: AFAS Stadion (Alkmaar)
Tottenham will be looking to salvage their season in the Europa League as they aim for a strong result in a tricky away clash against AZ Alkmaar at AFAS Stadium on Thursday.
Having wrapped up the league portion between ninth and 24th position, AZ Alkmaar had to overcome an additional hurde to book their place in the Europa League knockouts, and they rose to the occasion brilliantly, crushing Turkish juggernauts Galatasaray with a 4-2 aggregate victory.
Unlike in the Premier League, where they have been a total failure this season, Tottenham have justified their authority on the continental stage, ending the League Phase in 4th place with an ecellent 17-point haul to qualify directly for the last 16 round, where they'll aim to challenge for the trophy.
AZ Alkmaar vs Tottenham Betting Tips : 1X (DOUBLE CHANCE)
It’s fair to say that Spurs boast a stronger squad on paper, but unfortunately, they won’t be traveling to the Netherlands in full strength due to the absence of several key figures, which leaves us questioning whether they can leave AFAS with an advantage. On the European front, AZ Alkmaar have managed to make their home turf impregnable this season, as they posted a great record of three wins and a draw from their four matches in the league phase, and to top it all off, they blasted Galatasaray to smithereens with a blowout 4-1 win in the playoff round. There is no doubt that Spurs will be put to a severe test in Thursday’s fixture, especially since their away performances paint a rather gloomy picture, as they have managed just five wins in their last fifteen trips across all competitions, while suffering eight losses along the way. The absence of impactful players such as forwards Solanke and Richarlison adds to Tottenham's difficulties, and considering all the obstacles they face on their travels, we are confident that AFAS Stadium will remain unscathed in this season's European campaign.

AZ Alkmaar team news
Key midfielder Sven Mijnans is still recovering from a muscle injury sustained in his second leg against Galatasaray, but since it's not a severe injury, he could make a quick return.
Troy Parrott, the 23-year-old Irish forward who made the move from Tottenham to AZ Alkmaar last summer, will spearhead the attack, motivated to shine against his old team.

Tottenham team news
Tottenham’s squad will be severely depleted for Thursday’s Europa League clash, with Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Radu Dragusin, and both Dominic Solanke and Richarlison out of action.
In a surprising move, coach Ange Postecoglou benched Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-Min for the tough clash with Manchester City over the weekend, but both are expected to return to the starting XI no.
