Tottenham Hotspur vs AZ Alkmaar Predictions

• Tottenham have won six of their last seven matches in all competitions
• Spurs have conceded in eight of their 11 games this season
• AZ Alkmaar head to north London on a four-match losing streak

Spurs to maintain perfect European start

Tottenham are two wins from two in this season’s Europa League and they should prove too strong for AZ Alkmaar on home soil, as the visitors are heading to north London on a four-match losing streak.

Spurs bounced back from letting victory slip through their fingers at Brighton before the international break with a come-from-behind 4-1 win over West Ham last time out and Ange Postecoglou’s side have now won six of their last seven matches across all competitions.

However, conceding goals remains a concern, as they have kept just three clean-sheets in 11 games this season, conceding against the likes of Coventry and Ferencvaros, while they were fortunate not to ship when Qarabag visited the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in their last European home fixture

AZ heading to north London out of form

Tottenham’s defensive deficiencies will give AZ confidence of netting in north London, but the Dutch outfit are not in form, losing their last four games, including at Athletic Bilbao in this competition.

Maarten Martens’ side have scored in eight of their 11 matches this season, further underlining they are capable of notching on Thursday, but Spurs should be able to win with something to spare and can even match the 4-1 scoreline they produced against West Ham on Saturday.
