Lyon take on the visitors AZ Alkmaar in the second leg of Europa League round of 32. The game will be played on Wednesday, February 23rd at Parc Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon). The first leg ended with confident 4-1 win of the French team.
Lyon have answered to all the question about the winner of these two-leg matchup by gaining impressive 4-1 win in away game. The team is in great form as they’ve scored four goals in following Ligue 1 matches against Dijon, 4-2. These results suggest that Bruno Genesio’s team have gained solid conditions after a slump they suffered in the middle of January. Lyon show inconsistent results at own turf taking 11 wins in 18 matches with two draws and five defeats, which is quite a lot for a team that contend for titles.

AZ, in turn, are in awful conditions at the moment as the team suffered three defeats in their recent 5 matches in all competitions. Such run of poor results won’t allow the team to battle for a top-three or advance to the next stage of the Europa League. AZ played 19 matches on the road this season, taking 10 wins, five draws and four defeats. We shouldn’t note that both sides have scored at least once in these 19 matches.
There are no doubts that AZ are not in good conditions and have no chanced to come back after thrashing home loss. The best Alkmaar side can do is enjoy their last match in playoffs this season and prove their worth in this away fixture. We have all reasons to expect goals on both ends of the pitch.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
