Zrinjski vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction: Will the Dutch confirm that the previous success was no accident?

Prediction for the UEFA Conference League match which will take place on September 21. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Zrinjski is the champion of Bosnia, having won the national championship last season with a clear advantage. However, the team failed to qualify for the Champions League, the main tournament of the Old World - after beating Armenian Urartu, Zrinski lost to Slovan Bratislava. In the Europa League qualification, the Bosnians made it through one round, stronger than Icelandic Breidablik. However, they lost to Austrian LASK and only made it to the Conference League.

Zrinski, concentrating on the European Cup, poorly started the new national championship - two wins and two losses in four matches with a goal difference of 8:6.

AZ reached the semifinals of the Conference League last season, where they lost to future trophy winner West Ham. However, after a successful season, the Dutch team, as usual, was snatched up by clubs from the top championships. So, it is far from certain that Alkmaar will be able to repeat the success in the new season. Qualification was difficult for the club - AZ confidently coped with Andorran Santa Coloma, but they beat Norwegian Brann only in a penalty shootout.

In the Dutch championship, the team from Alkmaar nevertheless has four wins in four matches, goal difference - 12:2. Above in the standings at the moment, only PSV.

Despite the serious losses in the squad at the end of last season, AZ has not lost ground yet. The team, only in a series of eleven-meter kicks, beat Brann in the decisive qualification round. Still, they led 2:0 and 3:1 there and went into extra time only because of a loss of concentration. Zrinjski was very upset that he could not even get into the Europa League, and both matches after the departure from LASK in the championship of Bosnia team Krunoslav Rendulic lost with the same score, 0:1. Here we bet on AZ as a much better team and do not expect a lot of goals.
