LASK Linz vs AZ Alkmaar
LASK managed to hold a draw against AZ Alkmaar in the first leg of the last 32 round of UEL. The next task is to win at home when performing at Linzer Stadium.
LASK appeared as a guest of AZ Alkmaar in the first game and managed to steal a 1-1 draw with Marko Raguz (26 ‘). In fact, the goal of the new host was born four minutes before breaking up through a Teun Koopmeiners penalty (86 ‘).
Of course it will be a good premonition ahead of tomorrow’s game, especially if two home matches this month have also been successfully secured by LASK with a score of 2-0 and 4-1 against Sturm Graz and SKN St Polten in Austrian domestic competition. Meanwhile, AZ Alkmaar has also appeared twice in away games after the new year, beginning with a 1-2 win at home to SC Heerenveen, then losing 2-0 at Twente’s base.
Bad results in the last match are expected not to make the Dutch Eredivisie representative nervous, especially if this will be his first appearance at Linzer. The draw in the first game is proof that at least they should be able to achieve the same results, even though the host will appear more comfortable in front of his own fans and is supported by an impressive record. So, AZ Alkmaar must be ready to face the worst scenario.
Our Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Odds: 2.00
