The Hungarians lost their last two Europa League matches, so they're currently in 22nd place in the standings, just ahead of the 25th place team. First, Ferencvaros lost to PAOK in Greece 0:5, and then they lost to Eintracht in Germany 0:2, just as we expected. The Hungarian club has three wins, four losses, and no draws in seven games, with a goal difference of 11:12.
They haven't played in the Hungarian championship since December, and the national championship is on pause for now.At the end of the week, Pascal Jansen's team is in second place, just one point behind Puskás Akademi, but with a game in hand.
Alkmaar
Last round, Alkmaar hosted Roma and surprisingly won, 1-0. Marten Martens' team held their own against a strong opponent, didn't let in any goals, and finally scored the winning goal in the 80th minute. Irish forward Troy Parrott, who came on as a substitute, scored. Now AZ has 11 points, and the 25th-place Dutchmen are three points ahead, but also only three points behind the top eight, who could still make it into the 1/8 finals.
In the last Dutch Championship match, which was played right after the Europa League games, AZ lost 1:2 at home to Sparta Rotterdam, staying in sixth place. Alkmaar is only seven points behind the top three, which would give them a spot in the Champions League.

Expert Betting Tips
Clubs from Eastern Europe perfectly "know" how to lose important matches, and it is unlikely that Ferencvaros should be considered a favorite in the upcoming game. The class of the Dutch is still higher, and, quite possibly, it will be reflected in the result. Here we are basing ourselves on AZ Alkmaar, and also bet on goals. AZ's away matches in particular are mostly successful this season - in 5 of the last 6 away matches of the Dutch team, both teams scored.
