AZ Alkmaar vs Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Prediction 6 March 2025
Added on 04 March, 2025
AZ and Tottenham, both struggling with form, will face off in the first leg of the Europa League Round of 16.
AZ's recent 1-3 defeat to Heerenveen saw them drop to sixth place in the Eredivisie, jeopardizing their chances of qualifying for European competitions next season. Before that, they edged past Heracles 3-2 in the KNVB Cup semi-finals and eliminated Galatasaray in the previous Europa League round (4-1, 2-2).
Tottenham endured a rough spell in February, crashing out of both domestic cup competitions to Liverpool (0-4) and Aston Villa (1-2) within three days. However, they bounced back with league wins over Manchester United (1-0) and Ipswich (4-1) before suffering another setback against Manchester City (0-1), leaving them languishing in 13th place in the Premier League.
AZ will look to capitalize on home advantage and deliver a high-intensity performance to avoid defeat against the stronger opponent. Meanwhile, Spurs will aim to keep the tie open and settle the outcome in London next week.
