Dundalk take on the visitors AZ Alkmaar in the round 5 match of Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, November 24th at Oriel Park (Dundalk).
Dundalk are showing their best results in eurocup in a great while. It’s hard to recall when we saw Irish side in the group stage, not to mention having solid chances for a place in the playoffs. The champions of last two season in Ireland are second in the group after four matches played and have 4-5 goal difference. The team is strong defensively and count on back four and the keeper in their matches. Domestic season is over for Dundalk and they have only two Europa league matches to play after they’ve defend the league title. Counting qualifying matches, Dundalk took two wins, one draw and suffered two defeats with 6-5 on aggregate.

AZ show unexpectedly poor results in the group stage this fall, taking only two points and sitting on the last place in the table. Dutch side drew their matches in Dundalk and Maccabi, 1-1 and 0-0 respectively, and lost to Maccabi 1-2 and to Zenit, 0-5. However, the visitors are showing signs of improvement, recording six-match undefeated run.
The visitors from Netherlands have nothing to lose as they are already last in the group so we can expect them to try crush their opponents from very first minutes of the game. AZ are still a better side and they should be closer to success today.
Prediction for the match: AZ Alkmaar to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
