Eredivisie side AZ Alkmaar will be the hosts on Thursday at the AFAS Stadion, welcoming Andorran side Santa Coloma for the second leg of the third qualifying round of the Europa Conference League, with kickoff slated for 18:45 GMT.
Key Highlights
The Eredivisie side will look to expand their one-goal advantage from the first leg by winning the second leg at home on Thursday. They impressively won the difficult away clash in Andorra last Thursday through a Dorde Mihailovic strike in the 74th minute.
Santa Coloma were disappointed with the home result last week. They did not leverage the home advantage to get a win. Instead, they struggled to create or take chances when they came along. AZ Alkmaar proved to be too solid and robust across the spine to break down.
Therefore, Santa Coloma will look to tweak their approach to optimize their chances and ability to penetrate the AZ Alkmaar rearguard and create goalscoring opportunities for their attackers on Thursday.
Bet hereAZ Alkmaar will look to leverage the atmosphere at the AFAS Stadion to put pressure on the visitors, get an early goal, and expand their aggregate lead.
Injury Report
Neither side has reported new injury woes ahead of the Thursday match.
Prediction
AZ Alkmaar will win the match, extend their aggregate lead, and progress to the next round of qualifiers.
