Tottenham's season hinges on this match.
For Big Ange, this could be the defining game of his Spurs tenure, as it represents their only shot at a trophy this season. A win here might not guarantee long-term security, but it could at least extend his uncertain future at the club.
However, the challenge is far from simple. Tottenham were outplayed in the first leg by a young and energetic AZ Alkmaar side, suffering a 1-0 defeat in the Netherlands. The scoreline could have been worse, but now they have a chance to turn things around.
The good news for Spurs is that Mickey Van de Veen and Dominic Solanke are back from injury, providing a crucial boost as they look to overturn the deficit.
History also favors Tottenham AZ Alkmaar have struggled in England, losing their last nine away matches. Spurs will be determined to make it ten and keep their trophy hopes alive.
What we say
Tottenham to Win
Tottenham have been a different team at home in this Europa League campaign. In four matches, they have won three and drawn once a 2-2 result against Roma. Notably, all three victories came with clean sheets.
