[Europa League] AZ's woeful recent form, struggles in England and Spurs' excellent home record in this competition suggests there is only one winner from this contest.
Under the management of Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham has made a confident start in the Europa League, securing two victories in two matches and sitting third in the group table. The Spurs first thrashed Azerbaijan's Qarabag 3-0, despite playing a large portion of the match with 10 men, and then narrowly won away against Ferencváros 2-1.
In the Premier League, Tottenham currently occupies seventh place, with 13 points from eight matches. They head into this Europa League clash after a convincing 4-1 home victory over West Ham on the weekend. Overall, Tottenham has won four of their last five matches across all competitions, with their only defeat coming against Brighton.
Dutch side AZ began their Europa League campaign with a 3-2 home win over Swedish club Elfsborg, where Ruben van Bommel scored a brace. However, their strong start was overshadowed by a subsequent 2-0 away defeat to Spain's Athletic Bilbao. As a result, AZ Alkmaar currently sits 18th in the Europa League standings.
In the Eredivisie, things have not been easy for AZ either. In their most recent match, they lost 1-2 at home to PSV, leaving them in fifth place in the league table. This defeat marked their fourth consecutive loss in all competitions.
