Preview race for Az Alkmaar in Tottenham
AZ Alkmaar Welcome Tottenham in the Netherlands for the last-16 Europa League First League on Thursday.
The Spurs have one last shot in victory silverware this season and will be more determined than ever to give their fans a time worth celebrating.
It was a difficult time for Ance Postecoglou and Co, but they are starting to be repaired, winning the Premier League game against Brdford, Manchester United and Ipswich.
They did the last time in Manchester City, but Postecoglou lies the key players in front of this important tie in Europe.
The Spurs have already beat AZ in the Europa League this season, winning 1-0 courtesy of a Richarlison sentence in northern London.
The former product of the Troy Parrott Academy is in good shape for its new club and will be willing to make its mark when the two sides fight again.
Premier League giants remain his favorite bookies to win the competition, but would mark success in the competition for the first time since 1984.
AZ came through the play-offs, surprisingly hit Galatasaray and there is no doubt that they will drive a wave of momentum that is heading to the game.
