AZ Alkmaar to win
The Dutch side are in top form. They have won their last five matches across all competitions including tight 2-1 and 3-2 wins over Ajax and Apollon Limassol in the Eredivisie and Europa Conference League at home respectively. Apollon Limassol have won only one game from their last five across all competitions.
Both teams to score YES
Although AZ Alkmaar had won their last five matches, they failed to keep a single clean sheet in the process. The Dutch outfit conceded six goals in their last five, averaging 1.2 goals per game. Apollon Limassol have scored in all of their last six matches, including two goals against AZ Alkmaar in the reverse tie in the Netherlands last week.
Over 2.5 goals
AZ Alkmaar have recorded 21 goals [goals scored + conceded] in their last six matches in all competitions. They are averaging 3.5 goals per game. Apollon Limassol have recorded 17 goals in their last six matches and are averaging 2.83 goals per game. Both side’s previous goals prove this tie could produce at least three goals before the final whistle.
Get Rich Quick
This tip is always risky but doesn’t mean it’s impossible. In the reverse fixture, both sides produced five goals. They are likely to score goals in Cyprus on Thursday, hence expecting at least four goals before the last whistle of the game. This option has 2.98 odds at 1xbet.
Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Apollon Limassol vs AZ Alkmaar
AZ Alkmaar have won their last five matches in all competitions. They occupy the 1st spot in the Eredivisie with 23 points and can boast about their 2-1 win over Eredivisie giants, Ajax. AZ Alkmaar haven’t lost a game in the Dutch league this season so far, having won seven and drawn two from their opening seven league matches. The Cheeseheads have scored 19 goals and conceded 7 goals, hence what they lost in defence they make up for in attack. They are one more ahead of 2nd place Ajax.
The Cheeseheads are also perfect in the Europa Conference League, having won all of their opening three matches. They sit at the top of Group E with nine points. AZ Alkmaar have scored eight goals and conceded three.
Apollon Limassol have won twice in their last six matches across all competitions. They scored at least one goal in each of those matches. They are undefeated in Cypriot First Division after six matches. Apollon Limassol currently occupy the 2nd position with 14 points, the same points as first place Pafos, having won four and drawn two from their first six league matches.
Apollon Limassol aren’t doing well in the Europa Conference League as they occupy the 4th position in Group E, having lost two and drawn one from their opening three matches. They have scored three goals but their shaky backline has let them down as they have let in six already.
Apollon Limassol Team News
The Cyprus side will be without 34-year-old centre-forward Bagaliy Dabo due to a muscle injury he suffered in August. He has no return date at the moment of writing. Some unofficial reports are suggesting Apollon Limassol do not have any injury issues in the first team.

AZ Alkmaar Team News
Bruno Martins Indi will seat the game out after the centre-back underwent surgery last month. Jens Odgaard has an illness that could keep him out of the game on Thursday but there are chances he could be part of the team. Hakon Evjen and Vangelis Pavlidis have both been ruled out of the clash with ankle injury issues. Maxim Dekker is a doubt for the game after coming off with a knock last week.
