Personal analysis: Tottenham Hotspur currently has many problems on both offense and defense, especially injuries have a relatively large impact on the team this season. At present, Son Heung-min has obviously declined in speed and shooting ability after his age. Center forward Solanke was injured again after returning from injury, and right forward Johnson has just returned. The team currently lacks stable shooters on the front line. Kulusevski and Maddison in the midfield both have good outflanking shooting ability, but the former will not be back until next month, and Maddison has been unstable after his injury this season. In addition to Polo, who has good overall strength, the rest of the team's defense, Gray and Udogi, are still a little bit behind. The good news is that Romero has finally recovered and entered the squad. He is likely to play in this game, which is timely for Tottenham's current defense. Alkmaar's team has good counterattack and positional offensive capabilities on the field. The striker mainly plays around the center forward Parrott. This player is good at counterattacks and shooting in front of the goal. This player himself is a product of Tottenham's youth training. Secondly, the right forward Poku has a very good ability to get rid of the shot. In addition, midfielder Bremeister and full-back Mueller Wolf will participate more in the header in front of the goal. The overall retreat speed of the team's defense line and the interception and defense work on the wing are pretty good. In addition, with a certain amount of physical confrontation, the team is still doing well in defense, which is enough when facing Tottenham, which is currently weak in offense.
Tottenham Hotspur's lineup is much stronger than Alkmaar's, but the team's forward line is very weak. Johnson on the right is more of an offensive organizer and wing crosser on the field, and there are no reliable shooters at the center and left forward positions. It is obviously not effective to rely on Maddison in the midfield to make up for the lack of offensive firepower. The 1.25 goal handicap value of Tottenham Hotspur at home in this game is normal, but Lao Li believes that it is difficult for Tottenham Hotspur's current offensive lineup to bring too much pressure to the visiting team's defense line. The forward line is slightly insufficient in attacking and breaking through the goal. Therefore, Lao Li still recommends Alkmaar +1.25 win option for this game, and the score is expected to be 2-1 or 1-1.
