Alkmaar, at the start of the group stage, took part in one of the brightest matches of the entire European Cup campaign 2023/24. However, the Dutch themselves can hardly take this game as an asset. In Bosnia, AZ led 3:0 to Zrinski Mostar after the first half, but in the second half, managed not only to lose the victory but did not even achieve a draw, conceding four unanswered goals - 3:4. Thankfully, in the second round, the team managed to compensate for this failure, defeating Legia on their field - 1:0.
In the Dutch championship, AZ is doing a little better than in the Conference League. In nine rounds, there are eight wins and no defeats, with a goal difference of 25:4. However, AZ is only second in the standings. Above - PSV, who won all their matches.
Aston Villa
This season, the team practically did not lose. In the EPL, Unai Emery's team has six wins and only two defeats, from Liverpool and Everton, in nine matches. The more surprising is the unsuccessful trip to Legia in the first round of the Conference League - Aston Villa lost 2:3. In the second round, the Villans beat Zrinjski Mostar (1:0), but now, in order not to postpone the playoffs to the end of the group stage, they need two victories over a strong AZ. This could have been avoided with even a draw in Warsaw.
Expert Betting Tips
Aston Villa can not stumble even in an away match with AZ. The level of opponents in the Conference League group was high enough for the Villans to beat everyone, using extensive squad rotation. So, we will not bet on a mandatory victory of Unai Emery's team in the Netherlands. Let's take neutral options on the goals. Both teams show modern football, quality attack, and are capable of hitting each other's goals and breaking the bookmaker's total over.
