Tottenham vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction

The pressure is all on Tottenham here to complete a turnaround that could well prove to be what keeps boss Ange Postecoglou in charge. Whilst you would expect Spurs to discover their cutting edge going forward on their own patch, their defensive fragilities make this tie far from clear-cut. AZ Alkmaar were victorious in the first leg and will be more than confident of scoring at least once in North London, which would make it a tall order for Spurs to triumph on aggregate.

It's hard to look beyond the players of Tottenham when factoring in the attacking stars at their disposal, but one can’t help but feel that one mistake or conceding a goal would see heads drop very quickly and pressure build up as fans get anxious in the stands. Instead of backing a winner here, a shrewd move would be to back over 2.5 goals and both teams to score.
