Tottenham will host the visitors after a confident willful victory over West Ham. On the weekend, Postecoglou’s team showed one of their best performances of the season, defeating some pretty tough neighbors. Tottenham had plenty of time to rest. Therefore, it can be assumed that this time its lineup will not be as experimental as in the last round with Ferencvaros. And there is no special reason to save energy either. Postecoglou will not want to miss the chance to get a third win in the Europa League.
AZ go to London after a heavy and frustrating defeat in the game with PSV. AZ is a very strong and unyielding team, but both meetings with opponents who are higher class, they lost. And both defeats came in October. And together with them also the failure with Fortuna. The team is clearly in bad shape. Even if Tottenham play a lighter squad, they will have a much better chance to win, and a big one at that.
