On Thursday night, at the AFAS Stadion, AZ Alkmaar will face Tottenham in the first leg of their last-16 Europa League match. Both teams are vying for a spot in the quarterfinals. The launch time for the AZ vs Tottenham Hotspur game is 17:45 UK Time.
For Tottenham, it has been and will be a challenging season. Everything is very evident by looking at its Premier League position: thirteenth, far from the top ten. It goes without saying that the club, which often contends for a spot in the top five, cannot afford such outcomes.
The outcomes of Postecoglou’s wards are inconsistent. It seems that they sometimes succeed. Despite winning 1-0 against Man United and 4-1 against Ipswich, it’s hard to take these victories seriously since both teams are far lower in the APL and are having considerably more issues. However, Spurs have already lost three of their last four games against teams who are more difficult to play against (0:4 against Liverpool, 1:2 against Aston Villa, and 0:1 against Man City).
AZ’s performance last weekend was as dismal, as they were defeated by Heerenveen 1-3. This was the first of eight consecutive losses for the squad. During that stretch, they went 7-1 with only one tie (in the rematch of the 1/16 League finals against Galatasaray, which concluded in a score of 2:2). The first matchup saw the Alkmaar squad advance to the next round thanks to a 4:1 victory.
Even in the Dutch league, AZ is obviously outperforming Tottenham; they will be in the hunt for a top-four finish and, with any luck, a spot in the European Cup. Despite the club’s lack of a title claim, it is enjoying a far better season than Spurs.
