We’re now at the business end of this UEFA Europa League campaign, with just sixteen teams left and looking to book their spot in the quarter-final stage.
@Footy_Tipster gives his best predictions ahead of this round of fixtures in the UEFA Europa League..
AZ Alkmaar and Tottenham Hotspur will meet again for the second time in this UEL campaign, Spurs won their “league phase” meeting 1-0 back in October but AZ will be looking for revenge on home soil.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some betting angles for Thursday night’s UEFA Europa League fixture:
AZ Alkmaar v Tottenham Hotspur – Thursday, 5.45pm
AZ Alkmaar had to overcome a tough test in the play-off round, their impressive 4-1 victory here against Galatasaray was followed up with a 2-2 draw in Istanbul just a week later.
Maarten Martens’ side have won ten of their last eleven games on home soil, beating the likes of Ajax (twice), AS Roma and Galatasaray in the process.
We could be in for a few goals in this one, as both teams have scored in seven of AZ Alkmaar’s ten Europa League games so far.
——————————–
With Tottenham Hotspur no longer in the FA Cup, they had a weekend free which means Ange Postecoglou’s side have had a week to prepare for this clash in the Netherlands.
Spurs are favourites to go all the way in this competition and will be hoping to get something to defend in London next week.
Tottenham Hotspur are still short on numbers and especially at the back, we could see plenty of attacking action in this one.
