AZ Alkmaar vs Manchester United
AZ Alkmaar is confident enough to welcome the second match day of Group U UEL. They will really need it when they host Man Utd at Kyocera Stadium on Thursday (3/10) before midnight.
AZ Alkmaar opened their campaign with a 2-2 result at the Partizan Belgrade headquarters. A very satisfying result considering they had to play with ten men when Jonas Svensson was red-carded on 27 minutes’.
Meanwhile, Man Utd managed to pitch when entertaining FC Astana at Old Trafford. However, their performance was far from satisfying because they only won one goal through the action of Mason Greenwood (73 ‘).
Apart from the party, Man Utd’s appearance plummeted by defeat to West Ham Utd, then a series of streaks against Rochdale and Arsenal during normal times. This trend must be immediately corrected by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, moreover this will be the first trip to Kyocera.
For the host, the demanding conditions of the Red Devils would be good news, especially if yesterday’s draw was their worst report card during the last 5 matches, while the remaining 4 always came out as winners. This note was achieved after successfully frustrating ADO Den Haag, Feyenoord, and Heracles in a row, even without conceding. This achievement helped AZ Alkmaar rank in the top 3 Eredivisie.
Well, the impressive AZ Alkmaar chart will try to be transmitted in the match tomorrow. Playing in front of Kyocera’s public would certainly be an advantage, especially since Man Utd’s condition was far from ideal. You could say this is the best opportunity for the host to write a historic note on Man Utd.
Our Prediction: Under 2.5
Odds: 1.90
