Manchester United vs AZ Alkmaar
Man Utd tried to escape from Group L of the Europa League as the top of the standings. The condition is that they only need a draw when they receive the AZ Alkmaar visit at Old Trafford.
The host’s morale is rising following two big party wins against Tottenham Hotspur (2-1) and Man City (1-2). An additional six points helped them break into the EPL’s top 5 zone in Week 16.
The problem is, they will face Everton on Sunday (12/15) later, aka only having a gap of two days after appearing at tomorrow’s match. So, they must arrange the starting XI carefully so that they can perform optimally in every match.
At the moment, Man Utd has topped Group L standings with a collection of 10 points, one point behind AZ Alkmaar below, while Partizan Belgrade and FC Astana only have 5 and 3 points respectively. So, the Red Devils can still qualify whatever the results achieved in the match tomorrow.
With these conditions, a draw can be the best option. Because, the AZ Alkmaar chart is so impressive with 8 wins and 1 draw in various competitions. During this period they have scored 30 goals, 8 clean sheets, and conceded only 2 times. That number includes three UEL parties facing FC Astana (6-0, 0-5) and Partizan Belgrade (2-2). So, this Eredivisie representative will be a formidable opponent, although the match will be the first appearance at Old Trafford.
Our Prediction: 1
Odds: 1.70
