.....But this time, Tottenham must be more careful again because Az Alkmaar is very solid and highly motivated after eliminating Galatasaray.....
Eliminating a top side like Galatasaray will definitely improve the confidence and belief of the AZ Alkmaar players and manager. To them now, they have all it takes to conquer the whole of their opponents en route to winning the UEFA Europa League competition and when a teams possesses such confidence, it'll be very detrimental to underrate them.  I don't think Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou will want to underestimate the strength of the Dutch team so I expect him to adopt his best playing style in their game tonight.
And this is really proven. Az Alkamaar may be an unexpected club so far and now they can beat Tottenham in the first leg, even with a very thin core, 1 - 0.

Postecoglou admitted that this is a "tricky pitch" and they are not able to control it well. Not only that, from the statistics of the game, Tottenham is quite dominant, it's just that their attack line is very bad.

In fact, they only had 7 shots and 1 shot on target, only 1. On the contrary, Az Alkmaar was really able to optimize their work well.
