AZ Alkmaar created several chances in the first clash against Sparta Prague, but ultimately won only 2:1, leaving the intrigue completely alive before the return leg in the Czech Republic. Such a result suggests an open match, as both teams retain real chances to advance.
Strong home team against a scoring guestSparta feels extremely confident in front of their home crowd and convincingly won each of their last four home games. AZ, on the other hand, often struggles away from home, having lost five of their last seven visits in all competitions. At the same time, both teams demonstrate offensive potential, as there were over 2.5 goals in four of Sparta's last five matches and in six of AZ's last seven.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goalsGiven the open nature of the clash and the trend towards high-scoring matches for both teams, it is reasonable to expect another dynamic encounter with goals.
