AZ Alkmaar hosts Manchester United in round 2 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, October 3rd at Cars Jeans Stadion (Den Haag)
AZ looks very vigorously in this season so far. The team looks violently in attack and is very good at defense, which is quite rare for the Dutch teams. Considering that the team of Arne Slot participated in the Europa League qualification, they have already played a very decent number of matches at the start of the season, namely 14. But Alkmaar suffered one defeat and conceded only 7 goals! On average, the team of Slot concedes one goal per two matches. It is a very high-quality fixture at the start of the season. As for the start of the team in the group stage of the tournament, a 2-2 draw with Partizan Serbian away is a rather good start, given how difficult it is to play in Balkan fields. What can AZ expect in the game against Manchester United? Well, is the team of Arne Slot worse than Solskjaer’s team now? In my opinion, even the Dutch team looks like a favorite here! The team looks light and airy in attack while having a perfect defense.

Manchester needs a new coach. It is already a tradition for the Red Devils - every year or a year and a half, they need to change the manager because the mechanism starts working badly. As for the situation in the Premier League, Manchester is and going down to the bottom of the standings. After a small starting segment of the season, Manchester is 13 points behind the leader of the championship, and it indicates a zero willingness to fight. As for the Europa League, the almost optimal squad of the Red Devils hardly beat mediocre Astana at home (1-0)! Well, it’s also worth noting the “stunning” statistics of Manchester United in the away matches of the current season. They played away three times - ZERO wins, TWO draws, and, accordingly, one defeat. And those visits were exclusively to second-rate teams of the Premier League. Manchester is that way...
Those who consider Manchester the favorite of the match are mistaken, to put it mildly... The team is in a very sad condition now... AZ is frankly looking better. The team has no problems in all lines. And the hosts can at least not lose in the upcoming match. My bet: AZ will not lose!
Prediction for the match: AZ Alkmaar to win with +0.5 handicap
