Description: Following the victory of AZ Alkmaar in their last match against each other, the teams are about to clash as they tussle to qualify for the next stage. Despite Lazio’s home loss, both clubs have comparable odds of winning the game due to their equally excellent form. The decisive game between AZ Alkmaar and Lazio is scheduled for this Thursday at 8:00 PM (UTC) at the AFAS Stadion in Alkmaar, Netherlands.
Key Highlights
The Cheeseheads had a difficult time winning their last game against Lazio before their 2-1 lead was scored by Milos. Though the two teams were both third in their tables and were of equal strength, AZ Alkmaar has lost none of its last 5 matches, excluding the 2-1 defeat against Feyenoord.
Conversely, The Eagles have not been soaring as they should in their last matches, as they have drawn twice, won twice and lost to AZ Alkmaar in their last game. However, Lazio has hardly lost any of its away games. Therefore, a heated game is expected this Thursday.
Injury Reports
Only Ciro Immobile is injured at the moment for the Lazio team. Yet, since he missed the previous games against AZ Alkmaar, his absence has had minimal effect on the outcome of the game.
AZ Alkmaar, however, has six injured players, but this is an improvement as Sam Beukema, their Center Back, recovered. However, whether or not he’ll be playing has not been confirmed.
Prediction
With a promising 1.68 (-147 American; 17/25 Fractional), it is a given that both sides will find the back of the net as they relentlessly launch multiple goal attempts to secure a win.
Reason: AZ Alkmaar has not failed to score in all its last ten home games. Meanwhile, Lazio remains unbeaten in its past five away games and even succeeded in netting a goal in the reverse fixture. Both sides will be fighting against being knocked out by the other, so both teams score the outcome is very likely.
