Legia Warszawa vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction: the Visitors to Make It to the Playoffs

Prediction for the Conference League game between Legia Warszawa vs AZ Alkmaar, which will take place on December 14th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Legia is one of the most successful teams in Poland, having won the national championship 15 times, but now they have some troubles. At the end of last season, the team finished second in the national championship. After 18 rounds, they are only fifth in the standings, nine points behind the leaders. On the international stage, however, Legia is doing quite well, with three victories, two defeats in the Conference League, and second place in Group E. However, they have not yet secured a place in the next round.

AZ has only won the Dutch title twice, and they are unlikely to do so any time soon, as their rivals are too good. The team finished fourth last season but is now determined to challenge the title, sitting third in the standings. But in the Conference League, they are struggling. AZ has suffered three defeats in their last five matches, only beating Legia and Zrinski 1:0. That is good enough for third place in the standings, but a win in the upcoming game will allow the Dutch to qualify for the playoffs.

Legia and AZ have not secured anything after five rounds of the Conference League. So, the match outcome will determine who makes it to the last 32. So far, the Poles are three points ahead of the Red and Whites, but if they win, the Dutch will move up to second place. Jansen's wards took the first H2H meeting. Now, they are also the favorites, possessing a higher skill level. The hosts have been in a slump, winning only one of their last six matches.

Legia has not been performing well lately, but their fans have seen some entertaining football. They scored and conceded 25 goals in their last eight home matches, averaging 3.13 goals. The Dutch can't afford to simply defend themselves, either, because they have to win, so they'll have to attack and take risks.
