AZ

WWDWWW 📈

AZ are hoping to win again after their last result, the 1-2 Eredivisie triumph against FC Zwolle.

In that match, AZ managed 48% possession and 18 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. The scorer for AZ was Ibrahim Sadiq (6', 50'). For their opponents, PEC Zwolle got 16 shots at goal with 2 on target. Dylan Vente (66') was the scorer for FC Zwolle.

Their more recent scorelines reveal that much respect should be given to the AZ rearguard. AZ have given the opposition little, with the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their previous 6 clashes standing at 2. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to follow through here, however.

IF Elfsborg

WLDWDD

In their last game, IF Elfsborg drew 0-0 in the Allsvenskan tie with Hammarby IF.

In that match, IF Elfsborg managed 36% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target. At the other end, Hammarby IF had 10 attempts at goal with 4 on target.

Throughout their 6 most recent matches, Oscar Hiljemark's IF Elfsborg have slotted home 10 times therefore yielding them a goals per game average of 1.67.

📰 Team News: AZ

Jeroen Zoet (muscular problems), Mayckel Lahdo (Knock), Bruno Martins Indi (Hamstring injury), Lewis Schouten (unknown injury), Mees de Wit (Foot injury), Sem Westerveld (Meniscus injury) and Ernest Poku (Hip injury) are not available for AZ boss Maarten Martens.

It’s our opinion that AZ may well use the 4-3-3 formation this time, beginning the first half with Rome Owusu-Oduro, Seiya Maikuma, Wouter Goes, Alexandre Penetra, David Moeller Wolfe, Jordy Clasie, Sven Mijnans, Peer Koopmeiners, Ibrahim Sadiq, Troy Parrott and Ruben van Bommel.

🗞️ Team News: IF Elfsborg

We reckon that Di Gule seem likely to play in a 3-4-3 system using Isak Pettersson, Sebastian Holmen, Ibrahim Buhari, Terry Yegbe, Simon Hedlund, Besfort Zeneli, Timothy Noor Ouma, Niklas Hult, Arber Zeneli, Michael Baidoo and Ahmed Qasem.

🔮 Prediction

In our view, IF Elfsborg are capable enough to find the net against this AZ side, but it probably won’t quite be enough to avoid a loss.

We think that it’s going to be a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 advantage for AZ by the conclusion of the game. Should be an interesting one.
