Left winger Ruben Van Bommel is out with an unknown injury, having already missed 7 matches for AZ Alkmaar. They will also be without Ibrahim Sadiq, who is also sidelined with an unknown injury. Backup goalkeeper Sam Westerveld will be unavailable for selection as the 22-year-old shot-stopper recovers from a meniscus injury.

Bet hereAZ Alkmaar and Galatasaray have already locked horns in the UEFA Europa League this season on matchday five; the two sides drew 1-1 in their only previous meeting.
Recent form shows that Galatasaray have failed to win any of their last six encounters against Dutch sides in European competitions; they have drawn once and lost 5 times. They lost 2-1 to Ajax earlier in the season in the UEFA Europa League.
Adding to Galatasaray’s worries, AZ Alkmaar have a stellar home record, losing just two of their last 35 home matches in all European competitions.

Given this record and recent form, our football predictions show that the two sides are well-matched, and their clash on Thursday will be closely contested, backing the game to end in a draw.
Galatasaray will make a fast start to this match. Their attack, composed of Mertens, Osimhen, and Morata, is both potent and dynamic. This gives them an edge ahead of their match against AZ Alkmaar.
Our football bet predictions show that Galatasaray have what it takes to dictate the tempo of the match and push AZ back, especially in the opening stage of the match. This will give them the impetus to open the scoring within the opening quarter of the match.
