Tottenham is in poor form this season so don't expect too much from Tottenham even though in the last 16 they still have hope to qualify because in the second leg Tottenham will play at home and being 1 goal behind is not a difficult thing to catch up, it should be like that but if you look at Tottenham's strength this season I am a little pessimistic that their path can be longer in the Europa League this season.
Referring to the strength of the Tottenham Hotspur team this season, it is indeed a bit pessimistic for some people to expect the team to advance far to the next round this season in the Europa League. But considering the second leg for the Tottenham vs AZ Alkmaar match which took place at Tottenham's home ground, of course it is also not wrong to hope for Tottenham even though I personally am not sure that Tottenham will be able to beat AZ Alkmaar with a greater number of goals in the second leg.
In the second leg I think Tottenham has a great chance to turn things around. Because losing 1-0 on aggregate will of course be very easy to catch up, especially if Tottenham can really show great performance in the second leg later. If it can be like that I am very sure Tottenham can definitely beat AZ with more than 2 goals. But if Tottenham continues to show the same performance as in the first leg, it is certain that Tottenham's hopes of winning the match will be very difficult even at home. But I personally this time will bet on Tottenham only, because even though it is true that Tottenham is currently in poor performance. But if we look at the depth of Tottenham's squad, it can be said to be better than the squad owned by AZ. So the point is Tottenham only needs to find their rhythm again, so that the strategy and game pattern that they have trained can be applied perfectly when playing against AZ. So with that, I personally will continue to bet on Tottenham even though the risk is not small.
