Command Analysis

AZ Alkmaar

Current form
AZ had a very unstable overall stage, but still got a ticket to the 1/16 finals. We managed to score 11 points, which allowed us to finish in 19th place, even despite losing 3:4 in the final round from Ferencvaros. It is characteristic that Martin Martens' team scored 10 of the 11 total points on their own field, where both Fenerbahce (3:1) and Roma (1:0) were defeated.
In the 1/16 finals, AZ had a difficult opponent, the Turkish Grand Galatasaray. In fact, the outcome of that confrontation was decided in the first match, when the representative of the Eredivisie won a crushing victory with a score of 4.:1. A 2-2 draw was recorded in Turkey, which brought the cheese makers to the 1/8 finals.
Things in the Eredivisie are also far from going as planned by the management and what the fans expected. Instead of fighting for the top 3, AZ is only in sixth place after 24 rounds. True, the gap from third-placed Utrecht is only three points, but the competition is too high. In the last round, Martin Martens' team did not cope with the far from the most formidable Heerenveen (1:3), although before that it was on a winning streak of three matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Westerweld, Addai, Murdink and Van Bommel will not play today due to injuries. Entering the Mainance field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- At least four goals have been scored in four of the last five AZ matches.
- The bet on both goals was played in four of the previous five AZ matches
- In six of the last seven matches in the Europa League, the cheese makers have opened the scoring
- In the previous seven games in LE, the team suffered only one defeat.
Approximate composition: Owuso-Oduro – Maikuma, Gus, Penetra, Wolfe – Belich, Kopmainers – Poku, Burmester, Lahdo – Parrott.

Tottenham Hotspur

Current form
Tottenham are not competing for anything serious in the Premier League this season, as they are only in 13th place after 27 rounds. Against this background, the Europa League can help Spurs somehow prove themselves so that there is no complete failure. It is worth noting that the Londoners are performing very well in this tournament, unlike in the Premier League.
In the overall stage, Tottenham scored 17 points in eight rounds, with which they finished in fourth place and received a ticket immediately to the 1/8 finals. Ange Postecoglou's team suffered the only defeat on the road from Galatasaray with a score of 2:3. In the final two rounds, victories were recorded over Hoffenheim on the road with a score of 3:2 and over Elfsborg at home (3:0). Let's note the high performance of the Spurs - 17 goals scored. At the same time, in a personal meeting with AZ in the framework of the general stage, the Londoners won on their own field with a minimum score of 1:0.
Overall, Tottenham's results have stabilized somewhat recently. In the Premier League, there was a series of three wins in a row, which was interrupted in the last round in a home match with Manchester City - a 0 defeat.:1. In that meeting, the Londoners scored at least one goal, but the realization failed: out of six shots on target, none was accurate. At the same time, in the FA Cup at the stage of the 1/16 finals, Tottenham failed to cope with Aston Villa (1:2) and left the tournament. The main bet now, of course, is on the Europa League.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tottenham still have a lot of losses in the squad. Solanke, Romero, Dragushin, van de Ven and Richarlison will not play today due to injuries. Davis' entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last five matches, Tottenham have lost in the first half.
- In six of Spurs' previous eight Europa League matches, at least three goals were scored.
- Tottenham have lost just twice in 14 of their previous 16 league matches.
- In 13 of the last 16 matches in the Europa League, the Londoners scored at least two goals.
Approximate line–up: Vicario – Porro, Gray, Danso, Udoggi - Bergvall, Bentancourt, Maddison – Johnson, Tel, Son.

1.62Tip and bets
The rivals played each other at the general stage, and then Spurs won with a minimum score of 1-0 on their own field. On the road, of course, it will be harder, but still Tottenham has a certain advantage in class. Plus, AZ plays in a more open manner at home, which is in favor of the Londoners' attack, especially considering that the cheese makers are not known for their reliable defensive play. We believe that the guests will achieve victory over an unstable opponent today,
Our betting tip is for Tottenham to win by a factor of 2.00
Bet on the total
In the face-to-face match in London, the rivals limited themselves to only one goal scored, while AZ was never able to open the defense of the Londoners. Tottenham have clearly made progress in their defensive game lately, with Manchester City conceding just one goal. It is unlikely that the cheese makers will be able to open the defenses of the Londoners at least twice.
The second bet is the individual total of AZ goals less than 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.61
Combined bid
It should be noted that Tottenham have won three of the last five away matches, taking into account all tournaments. At the same time, goals were exchanged in the two winning matches. We expect that the upcoming match will follow this scenario.
The prediction is a victory for Tottenham and both will score with a coefficient of 3.60
