Comments and predictions for Tottenham Hotspur vs AZ Alkmaar: Home team dominates the game

Latest Tottenham Hotspur vs AZ Alkmaar team information

Spurs will be without Wilson Odobert and Djed Spence for this game, which affects Postecoglou's plans as both could start to give key players a rest. Spurs right-back Pedro Porro has played 90 minutes in six consecutive games, including away in Hungary and two caps for Spain.

Radu Dragusin, who missed the win over Ferencvaros through suspension, will return and is likely to start, giving Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven some rest. AZ striker Troy Parrott, who recently left Spurs, will return to the club of seven years, looking for a European goal after scoring the winner against Elfsborg.

Ibrahim Sadiq remains a doubt after returning from international duty with Ghana injured, joining Bruno Martins Indi, Mexx Merdink and Wouter Goes on the injury list. David Moller Wolfe's red card last weekend will not affect this game, but he will be suspended for AZ's game against Go Ahead Eagles on Sunday.

Latest football commentary Tottenham Hotspur vs AZ Alkmaar

After a poor start and defeat to Brighton just before the international break, Tottenham needed a positive result at home last weekend. Despite falling behind early to West Ham, Spurs equalised before the break and added three more goals in the opening eight minutes of the second half to secure a 4-1 win.

However, Spurs are still obsessed with doing better after the defeat at the Amex, which left them four points off the top four despite the win. The Europa League is a priority for manager Postecoglou, who has promised to bring silverware to Tottenham, and the team have made an excellent start to the group stage.

Spurs have lost just one of their last seven games, against Brighton, while winning their first two Europa League games. Despite playing with 10 men for 10 minutes against Qarabag, Spurs won 3-0 and put in an impressive performance in Budapest, beating Ferencvaros.

Spurs are now one of five clubs with a 100% record in the Europa League, with only Lazio and Lyon ahead on goal difference. They are also unbeaten in six Europa League games at their new stadium and unbeaten in their last 14 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

For AZ, they have had the toughest time of the group stage, having suffered four consecutive defeats, their worst run in 22 years. Since beating Elfsborg in the opening round, they have struggled against stronger opposition. Their next Europa League game is against Athletic Bilbao, and they have just lost to PSV Eindhoven among others.

Defeats to Utrecht and Fortuna Sittard have left them fifth, closer to the relegation zone than PSV. AZ have lost all eight of their previous European games in England, conceding at least two goals in each, and have also lost five of their last six away games in European competition.
