Dundee United face a fresh challenge on Thursday as they ready themselves for their forthcoming Conference League Qualifiers game against AZ.
Full predictions, stats & game poll for the AZ v Dundee United match are shown here - plus the latest match odds.
AZ are hoping to win again after their last result, a 2-0 Eredivisie success versus Go Ahead Eagles.
For AZ, the scorers were Vangelis Pavlidis (70') and Myron van Brederode (86').
Their most recent results show that much solidity has been shown by the AZ rearguard. AZ have been stingy, seeing the total number of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their last 6 clashes standing at 4.
After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Livingston in Premiership competition, Dundee United and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that match, Dundee United managed 62% possession and 10 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. On the other side, Livingston had 11 shots on goal with 4 on target. Cristian Montaño (49') scored for Livingston.
For 5 of the past six games involving Dundee United, a notably low volume of goals have been struck between them and their opponents. The overall average number of goals per game in that period comes out as a meagre 1.83, with the average goals for The Tangerines equalling 1. In any event, we must now wait to see whether that pattern might continue on here in this game.
Yukinari Sugawara (Knee Surgery), Jens Odgaard (Knock), Riechedly Bazoer (Ill), Jesper Karlsson (Muscle Injury) and Zinho Vanheusden (Knock) will not be able to play for AZ boss Pascal Jansen.
Thanks to a largely available group of players, there’s just the sole fitness problem for the Dundee United gaffer Jack Ross to contend with. Peter Pawlett (Achilles tendon surgery) misses out for this game.
It looks to us like Dundee United will have a tough assignment to be getting goals against a AZ outfit who appear set to control this match over the entire pitch.
We’re going for a 3-0 win for AZ at the end of this one.
