AZ Alkmaar heads into this Europa League knockout fixture riding a wave of decent form, having secured 6 wins in their last 10 matches. The Dutch side has been particularly impressive at the AFAS Stadion, winning 4 of their last 5 home games. Their standout European performance came against Galatasaray last month, when they crushed the Turkish side 4-1 on home soil. On the other side, Tottenham's form has been the definition of inconsistent. Spurs have managed 5 wins and 5 losses in their last 10 outings. Away from home, they've been a coin flip with a 50% win rate in their last 6 road trips. But don't count them out! Ange Postecoglou's men have shown they can turn it on when needed, evidenced by their impressive 4-1 dismantling of Ipswich and a solid 2-0 win at Brentford in recent Premier League action.

If there's one thing that jumps out from the stats, it's AZ's home record. With 11 goals scored and just 4 conceded in their last 5 matches at the AFAS Stadion, Maarten Martens' side clearly feel comfortable in front of their own fans. Their 80% win rate at home is nothing to sneeze at!Tottenham's away form has been shaky at best. For every impressive road win, there's been a disappointing defeat to balance it out. They've leaked as many goals as they've scored when playing away (12 each way in 6 matches). Will the North London outfit tighten up defensively for this European adventure? They'll need to if they want to return to England with a positive result.

There's not much to go on when it comes to past meetings between these clubs. In fact, they've only faced each other once before, with Tottenham claiming a narrow 1-0 victory. But past results often mean little in knockout football, don't they?What might be more telling is each team's recent European experiences. AZ's thumping of Galatasaray shows they can mix it with bigger names, while Spurs demonstrated their continental credentials with a thrilling 3-2 win away at Hoffenheim earlier this season.Can AZ use their home advantage to overturn the historical precedent? Or will Tottenham's Premier League quality shine through? The AFAS Stadion will certainly be buzzing when these two teams take the field on March 6th.

For the home side, their attacking prowess has been evident with 25 goals in their last 10 matches. They've been particularly lethal in recent weeks, as shown by that incredible 6-5 away win against Heracles in the Dutch Cup. That's not a typo, folks – eleven goals in one game!Tottenham's attack hasn't been quite as prolific, notching 17 in their last 10 outings. However, they've shown they can turn on the style against Premier League opposition, and their defense has been marginally better than AZ's overall.Both managers have tactical decisions to make. Will Martens set up his team to exploit Tottenham's inconsistent away form with an aggressive approach? Or will Postecoglou stick to his attacking principles despite being on foreign soil? These questions make this Europa League clash one to watch for neutral fans and club supporters alike.
