UEFA Europa Conference League
Crystal Palace seems to be stabilizing again after a wobblier period with four matches without a win. Surprisingly, in one of those, they lost at home to AEK Larnaca 0:1, despite dominating almost the entire match. Now they have two consecutive victories without conceding a goal – 3:0 away against mostly reserves of Liverpool in the FA Cup, followed by 2:0 at home against Brentford on Saturday in the Premier League.
AZ Alkmaar has won their last five matchesAZ Alkmaar also has a win and a loss so far in the group stage, having also been shocked by AEK Larnaca, and even more severely. They lost 0:4 away to the Cypriot team, although they had been down to ten men early on. However, they managed to bounce back immediately and currently have five consecutive victories after that loss. They also won their last two away matches without conceding a goal, including a 2:0 win over Ajax.
Prediction: under 3.5 goals, victory for Crystal PalaceBoth teams are showing stability again and have returned to the winning path. My prediction, however, goes for the favorite in the form of Palace, but I think the victory will not come easily and the goals will not be too many in this match.
