AZ, although clearly losing out to Feyenoord and PSV in the Eredivisie, still often finishes in the top 4 and is a frequent visitor to European competitions. Last season AZ played in the UEFA Conference League, but failed to qualify for the group stage, although the group rivals were Aston Villa. The new season the team started much more successful - 16 points in 6 rounds, the team is in 2nd place.
The championship in Sweden is in full swing, Elfsborg is in 3rd place in Allsvenskan, but the team has not had much success in the international arena, as the team has not always got into the European Cup zone.
AZ will have quite difficult opponents ahead in the Europa League (Athletic Bilbao, Tottenham, Roma), so the team must take advantage of such matches to finish in the play-off zone.
Prediction: AZ to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 1.54
