Aston Villa vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction & Tips
Aston Villa and AZ Alkmaar meet at Villa Park in the fourth round of the Europa Conference League group stage.
The head-to-head record takes us back to the first leg, where Aston Villa traveled to AZ Alkmaar’s stadium and won 1-4.
Unai Emery’s side go into this game demotivated after a 2-0 defeat away to Nottingham Forest. The home side usually play a 4-4-2 tactical system, favoring quick transitions, mainly through the wings, with the two most advanced men being Ollie Watkins and Moussa Diaby. Two of Aston Villa’s great qualities are their ability to create goalscoring situations and the way they can protect a positive result. Coach Unai Emery is unlikely to be able to count on Emiliano Buendía, Álex Moreno and Tyrone Mings because they are currently recovering from injury.
AZ Alkmaar go into this match on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Excelsior. The away side usually play a 4-3-3 tactical system, favoring a faster style of play with constant transitions. In this design, the three men responsible for causing panic in the opposing defense are Myron van Brederode, Vangelis Pavlidis and Jens Odgaard. Coach Pascal Jansen won’t be able to count on Mees de Wit and Sem Westerveld as they have been handed over to the team’s medical department at this stage.
