Tottenham Hotspur will seek to overturn their slim loss when they host AZ in the Europa League last 16 return leg. Going into this Thursday match, Spurs are trailing 1-0. The winner on aggregate here will face either Ajax or Eintracht Frankfurt and below is our prediction for the match.

After a tough season, this is Tottenham’s only path towards silverware. The chances of taking control of this tie remain high, with Spurs having had a healthy home record in Europa League.

They are unbeaten in the last 11, winning nine and eight of those wins came with clean sheets. Coming from two goals down to draw Bournemouth 2-2, Spurs are now winless in three matches and will all to play for.

AZ will only need a draw of any nature to progress, or simply to avoid defeat. Should they fail to progress from this tie, the Dutch will have themselves to blame.

In the first leg they had a myriad of chances to win it but in the end they only had a good display to look back to. After having had the weekend off to prepare for this game, coach Maarten Martens will hope that pays off.

The visitors are on a run of six wins in their last nine matches. This match marks their second trip to North London after the two met in the league phase. AZ lost 1-0 back then in October.

This tie is still open, though AZ can claim to have an advantage based on their slim lead. Tottenham will however look at the challenge ahead as surmountable having avoided a heavy defeat in the Netherlands. The visitors haven't had a great run away from home.

They arrive for this match having won in 90 minutes just once in the last seven away games. In the Europa League, they are winless in eight Europa League matches on the road. Tottenham have prevailed a t home in this competition. Our prediction for Tottenham Hotspur v AZ is for Tottenham Hotspur to win to nil.
