AZ Alkmaar and Aston Villa will face off in the Matchday 3 of the UEFA Conference League Group Stage.
AZ might face challenges in breaking down the solid Aston Villa defense, and Aston Villa is expected to score a goal and secure a victory.
AZ is eager to replicate their last result, which was a 3-0 victory in the Eredivisie against SC Heerenveen.
AZ’s recent results highlight their strong defensive performance, with only 2 goals conceded in their last six matches.
Unfortunately, AZ’s manager, Pascal Jansen, will have to cope without Westerveld and De Wit, who are unavailable for the upcoming match.
Last 5 Games: Won: 4, Draw: 1, Lost: 0, Scored: 11, Conceded: 2, Clean Sheets: 3.
Aston Villa enters the upcoming match on the back of a 1-1 draw in the Premier League against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Aston Villa has been in good scoring form in their last six matches, netting a total of 12 goals while consistently finding the back of the net in each of those games. However, they’ve also conceded 7 goals during that period, and it’s uncertain whether this pattern will continue in the next match.
Aston Villa’s manager, Unai Emery, has to deal with the unavailability of several players. Moreno, Buendía, and Mings won’t be able to play in the upcoming match.
Last 5 Games: Won: 3, Draw: 1, Lost: 1, Scored: 10, Conceded: 4, Clean Sheets: 2.
The match will be played at the AFAS Stadion.
