Galatasaray vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction & Betting tips
On Thursday evening at 19:45, Galatasaray and AZ Alkmaar will face each other in the second leg of the Europa League play-off for qualification to the round of 16. The round match that was played a week ago was won by AZ Alkmaar, the team that won 4-1 and is the favorite to qualify for the round of 16, where they could play Manchester United or Tottenham. An interesting thing is that Galatasaray and AZ Alkmaar also faced each other in the Europa League group and the match ended in a draw, score 1-1.
Galatasaray:
Galatasaray are coming off a 2-1 away win against Rizespor in the 24th round of the Turkish Super Lig. Last season’s champions have a good chance of winning another Turkish title, currently six points ahead of second-placed rivals Fenerbahce. The Europa League round-robin match was a disaster for Galatasaray as they conceded four goals and the three-goal deficit looks unlikely to be overcome, but Galatasaray have the strength to take the match to extra time at least. Galatasaray’s next match will be a very important one as they face their big rival Fenerbahce in the 25th round derby in Turkey.
AZ Alkmaar:
AZ Alkmaar is in 5th place in the Eredivisie with 40 points, the same as Feyenoord in 4th place and three less than Utrecht in 3rd place. AZ Alkmaar did not play at the weekend, thus having a whole week to prepare for this Europa League return game. AZ Alkmaar is in good spirits because it is coming after a series of four consecutive victories. In the next match, AZ Alkmaar will play at home against Sittard.
