But despite the victory, Ange Postecoglou&#8217;s men are still four points below the top four.<\/p>\n<p>But the Australian may be targeting Europe as a potential route to silverware this season.

Maarten Martin&#8217;s men have lost four on the bounce, their worst run in over 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>And things get no easier this week, with the trip to Tottenham probably the toughest fixture of their season on paper.<\/p>\n<p>They have not been lucky with their opponents, in fairness. AZ lost away in Bilbao to an Athletic side who are imperious at home.<\/p>\n<p>And at the weekend, PSV were 2-1 winners as Alkmaar were reduced to 10 men.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been some dip in form for a side which won five of their opening six league matches, but they will need a remarkable turnaround to take anything away from Thursday&#8217;s match.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Tottenham Vs AZ Alkmaar Team News<\/h2>\n<p>Djed Spence and Wilson Odobert are out for Tottenham.

The Irish striker will be hoping for another European goal after netting the winner against Elfsborg.<\/p>\n<p>Ghanaian international Ibrahim Sadiq is a doubt, he took a knock with his national side and could miss out.<\/p>\n<p>Bruno Martins Indi, Mexx Merdink and Wouter Goes remain sidelined.<\/p>\n<h2>Tottenham Vs AZ Alkmaar Predicted Lineups<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Tottenham (4-3-3): <\/strong>Vicario; Gray, Dragusin, Davies, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur, Bergvall; Moore, Richarlison, Werner<\/p>\n<p><strong>AZ Alkmaar (4-3-3): <\/strong>Owusu-Oduro; Maikuma, Penetra, Dekker, Wolfe; Clasie, Mijnans, Koopmeiners; Buurmeester, Parrott, Van Bommel<\/p>\n<h2>Tottenham Vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction<\/h2>\n<p>Spurs have been on fine form in Europe, and should have enough to win comfortably, especially on home turf.<\/p>\n<p>AZ do have quality, but their terrible recent form suggests they are low on confidence, and are unlikely to upset the odds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction:<\/strong> Tottenham 3-1 AZ Alkmaar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s our Tottenham VS AZ Alkmaar preview, prediction, latest team news and predicted lineups ahead of Thursday night&#8217;s UEFA Europa League clash in North London.
