Prediction Tottenham Hotspur vs AZ season – Betting Tips for the Europa League on March 13, 2025

As the tension rises in the Europa League Round of 16, Tottenham Hotspur prepares to host AZ at the magnificent Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. With a capacity of 62,850, the venue is sure to be electric with fans wanting to support their team as they aim for continental glory.

Recent Form Analysis

Tottenham comes into this crucial tie with a mixed bag of results. Their last outing saw them draw 2-2 against AFC Bournemouth, and prior to that, they experienced a 1-0 defeat to AZ in their last encounter. Summing up their recent matches, Tottenham has not been in their prime form lately, managing only one win from their last five competitive matches. However, being at home does give Tottenham a significant advantage, having scored 9 goals while conceding only 2 at home throughout the season.

On the other side, AZ has shown resilience but is struggling at the moment, sitting at the bottom position in their group. They managed to secure 3 wins from 8 matches, with an alarming 3 losses. Their recent form has been shaky; they lost heavily against SC Heerenveen and only just scraped through in their match against Heracles Almelo on penalties. Nevertheless, they also hold a strong competitive edge against Tottenham, having triumphed in their last clash just a week prior.

Tactical Approach

Tottenham will likely approach this match by leveraging their home advantage and attacking prowess. With a substantial average of 111 attacks per game, and a conversion rate that hints at their capability to score, they will be pressing forward. Their midfield should focus on controlling possession and creating goal-scoring opportunities that can capitalize on the defensive vulnerabilities exhibited by AZ recently.

AZ, on the other hand, will need to solidify their defense to minimize the damage and utilize counter-attacks effectively. Their performance indicates they are quite capable of both scoring goals and keeping the opposition at bay, if executed properly. The key for Az will be to remain disciplined in defense and look for rapid transitions into attack quickly.

Betting Insight

The current odds heavily favor Tottenham at 1.40, with a win probability of 71.43%. On the contrary, AZ stands as the underdogs with an odds value of 7.50, reflecting only a 13.33% chance of victory. Given the statistics that show Tottenham has generally excelled at home during this season and AZ’s current struggles, a bet on Tottenham to win seems to be the most sensible approach in this matchup.

Consider placing your bet on Tottenham Hotspur to win this match, as they look to assert their dominance in this crucial phase of the tournament, making this a thrilling encounter of European football excitement!
