Now, let’s take a closer look at some betting angles for Thursday night’s UEFA Europa League fixture:

Tottenham Hotspur v AZ Alkmaar – Thursday, 8pm

• Spurs faced Bournemouth here at the weekend, they had to come from 2-0 down in the second half to secured a point, a good point in the end all things considered. 
• Ange Postecoglou’s side will be boosted by the return of arguably their two best centre-back’s in Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero.
• Spurs are unbeaten on home soil in their last eleven Europa League games, including four they’ve played during this campaign.
  ——————————–
• Despite just 38% possession in the first leg, AZ had the better chances on the night and might have felt they deserved to arrive in London with more than just a goal advantage. 
• This is the second time that Maarten Martens’ side have played here this season, having lost their “League Phase” game here 1-0 back in October.
• Despite their attacking threats, it’s still a big ask given their away record in this competition, having won just one of their last eleven UEL away games over the years, failing to win any during this campaign.

Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Tottenham To Win, Tottenham 3-1 AZ Alkmaar.
