LiontipsTottenham vs AZ. Europa League match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Tottenham are among the contenders for the Europa League title and have fully justified this status so far. In two rounds, the Spurs have earned the maximum six points thanks to victories over Qarabag (3:0) and Ferencvaros (2:1).
In the Premier League, after a 2-3 defeat to Brighton, Postecoglou men thrashed West Ham 4-1 at home in the London derby. It should be noted that the team has consistently scored at least three goals at home in four of the last five matches. Son Heung-min, who has managed to recover from an injury, is especially dangerous in attack, and he started the game against West Ham and made an assist.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Odober is on the injured list.
Interesting trends for betting
- Tottenham have lost 9 of their last 12 matches due to offsides
- Tottenham have opened the scoring in six of their last seven Europa League matches
Probable line-up : Vicario - Gray, Dragusin, van de Ven, Davies - Sarr, Bissouma, Bergwall - Johnson, Solanke, Son.
Current form
The Eredivisie representative is having a tough start in the Europa League. In the first round, AZ beat Elfsborg 3-2 at home, not without problems. Then, away from home, they were unable to do anything against Athletic, suffering a 0-2 defeat.
Taking into account all tournaments, Marten Martens' charges are currently on a series of four defeats in a row, and have scored only two goals in this period. In the national championship, after three defeats in a row, AZ has fallen to fifth place. In the last round, there was a 1:2 defeat to PSV on their home field.
Disqualifications and injuries
AZ has a lot of problems with its squad. Guus, Zeefeik, Merdink, Westerveld, Schouten and Indy will not play today. The appearance of one of the team best players, Ibrahim Sadiq, is in question.
Interesting trends for betting
- AZ have drawn in the first half in four of their last five matches
- The team has not won in six of its previous eight matches in the Europa League (two draws and four defeats)
Probable line-up : Owusu-Oduro - Maikuma, Penetra, Dekker, Wolff - Belic, Klasie - Lahdo, Meynans, van Bommel - Parrott.

10.50Tip and bets
Tottenham plays almost flawlessly on their home field, consistently hitting the opponents' goal at least twice and it is unlikely that anything will change today. Moreover, AZ is currently in a decent decline, is on a series of four defeats in a row, and has scored only two goals. It is unlikely that the visitors are capable of opposing the Londoners at the moment.
Our prediction is a Tottenham win with an Asian handicap (-1) at odds of 1.70
Bet on total
The visitors have had noticeable problems in attack in recent matches. Plus, one of the best players in the attack line, Ibrahim Sadiq, may not play today. It is quite possible that AZ will not be able to open up the opponent defense even once.
The second bet is the individual total of goals for AZ under one with odds of 1.72
Bet on corners
It is highly likely that Tottenham will spend a lot of time at the opponent goal and confidently win on corners. Thus, in the previous Europa League match against Ferencvaros, the Londoners won on corners with a score of 11-4.
Prediction: Tottenham win on corners with a handicap of (-2.5) with odds of 1.75
