This leaves in-form Tottenham Hotspur to meet lowly AZ Alkmaar in the third matchweek of the Europa League on Thursday. Currently, Spurs sit at the top of the league with two wins out of two games making them favorites to take the trophy this season. On the other hand, Alkmaar started with four consecutive losses in all competitions they have to reverse the same result.
Tottenham are back in Europa League action after the pivotal victory against fellow London-based side West Ham. Special attention should be paid to Ozan Kabak – Dinamo’s Turkish defender reportedly wanted by Liverpool An, although Ange Postecoglou’s side lost at Brighton and the team needs a victory before the European tie.
Of all the participating teams Alkmaar has a much more difficult league stage to contend with. The Dutch club is coming from the loss in the match against PSV Eindhoven and taking their position in the fifth place on the table of the premier league champion.
AZ began the Europa campaign with a 3-2 victory against 10-man Elfsborg but lost 2-0 to Athletic. They have had a very bad time against the Premier clubs of England having lost all their previous eight matches.

Tottenham vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction
Tottenham Hotspur have lost only one of their last seven games and are now only four points away from the Premier League’s top four. In the Europa League, they are only behind Lazio and Lyon by a goal difference. Spurs have become very hard to beat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, having recorded 14 games without a loss.
On the other hand, AZ Alkmaar arrives for this match in this match on the back of four consecutive matches without a win. Based on the current form of Tottenham, widely they are considered as a slight favorite to take their unbeaten run in their own backyard further.
Prediction: Tottenham 4-0 AZ Alkmaar
