Yes. The match is due to kick off at 8pm GMT at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, with coverage on TNT Sports 3 beginning an hour earlier. Subscribers can also view the broadcast online discovery+. The broadcast build-up and the action on the pitch will determine whether Tottenham Hotspur can overturn the one-goal first-leg deficit.
How did Az Alkmaar arrive here?
AZ Alkmaar’s European form includes a recent Conference League victory in which Troy Parrott scored twice to secure a 2-1 first-leg win over Sparta Prague, extending the hosts’ unbeaten run against Czech opposition to nine matches (W5, D4). Parrott’s brace was his 25th goal of the season across all competitions and underlined his importance after a four-game drought without a goal.
Domestically, AZ Alkmaar sit sixth in the Eredivisie and have won three of their last five matches, a run that gives them hope of building on the first-leg advantage. The visitors have also contended with injuries in recent European ties: Mayckel Lahdo was forced off inside 10 minutes of a recent first leg, and Denso Kasius was withdrawn around the hour mark; Sven Mijnans, Ruben van Bommel, Jayden Addai and Mexx Meerdink are also sidelined. Against Tottenham Hotspur they will look to former Spurs forward Troy Parrott to deliver again on his return to North London.
Who is available, and what must the managers do?
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou faces selection and availability questions after the first leg. Dejan Kulusevski and Kevin Danso are expected to miss the second leg; Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended after accumulating a booking in the away match. Richarlison remains unavailable and is forecasted to be sidelined until April despite a return to training. On the positive side, Ben Davies has recovered from a knock and Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero are fit, offering a defensive boost for Tottenham Hotspur.
For AZ Alkmaar, the head coach Lee-Roy Echteld will need to navigate a stretched squad but can take confidence from Troy Parrott’s finishing and the team’s recent European performances. Brian Priske’s side — the Sparta Prague coach — will similarly reflect on a performance that left his team still seeking an away draw in the competition. Tactically, both managers must weigh selection, fitness and the psychological momentum that a one-goal tie carries into the second leg.
Tottenham Hotspur arrive under pressure: they recovered a point in their most recent Premier League outing after coming from 2-0 down, but time is running out to rescue the season and the Europa League stands as a key opportunity. AZ Alkmaar, heavy underdogs on paper for this tie, can lean on clinical moments and Parrott’s form to attempt an upset.
As the stadium fills and team sheets are confirmed, the outcome will hinge on whether Tottenham Hotspur can sharpen a previously flat display and whether AZ Alkmaar’s visitors can hold to their slender lead. The managers’ choices, the fitness of returning defenders and the finishing of forwards like Parrott will write the next chapter of this European contest.
Back where the match began, the stands at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will watch the scoreboard for proof: will the home side erase a one-goal deficit, or will az alkmaar’s night in London become another quiet, decisive chapter in their European campaign?
