AZ Alkmaar vs Juventus Game Preview

AZ Alkmaar host Juventus at AFAS Stadion in a Europa League matchup with real weight. Juventus sit seventh in the standings, while AZ sit 10th.

AZ are unbeaten in their last 17 European home games, even with their domestic form wobbling. That home record is exactly why the hosts can't be dismissed here.

Juventus are unbeaten in the competition and carry the sharper attack, which is why the AZ Alkmaar vs Juventus betting odds make the visitors the favorite on the moneyline.

AZ trail Juventus by a single point, so the winner takes a real step up the Europa League standings. Our AZ Alkmaar vs Juventus prediction backs the visitors.

AZ Alkmaar vs Juventus Recent Results

AZ cruised past Ararat-Armenia 4-0 away in the Europa League, and Weslley Patati was the standout scorer. The domestic picture is messier. Back-to-back Eredivisie defeats to FC Twente and Ajax exposed some blunt finishing, and they have just two wins from their last six competitive games. Mexx Meerdink leads the line, but this attack leans on Patati's European spark.

Juventus have lost just one of their last 10 European games, and their Europa League attack has been the best part of their season. It's been bumpier at home in the league. A surprise defeat to Genoa was followed by a win over Napoli at the weekend. Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade carry the scoring load, though two wins from their last five away games tempers the hype.

AZ Alkmaar

The AZ Alkmaar vs Juventus lineups start with a headache for Lee-Roy Echteld. He has five injured players, and losing Jeroen Zoet and Wouter Goes thins out his goalkeeping and defensive depth. Jari De Busser starts in goal behind a probable back four of Elijah Dijkstra, Wesley Hoedt, Lewis Schouten and Mees de Wit, with Mexx Meerdink leading the line.

Juventus

Luciano Spalletti is missing eight players, including Weston McKennie, Manuel Locatelli and Kamil Grabara, which leaves Juventus short in midfield and attack. Douglas Luiz and Pape Matar Sarr should anchor the probable XI. Up top, Nick Woltemade carries an expected goals figure of 3.1, the highest in the tournament, and he is the man this team runs through.

AZ Alkmaar vs Juventus Prediction & Best Picks

Our prediction is a Juventus win in a game where both teams score. The visitors carry a 45.49% win probability, well clear of AZ, and their attack is the difference in this matchup. AZ's home record says they will make it awkward and get on the board, but Juventus have more ways to hurt you, and that shapes our AZ Alkmaar vs Juventus best picks.

Juventus to win in the Moneyline market. They are the favorite. This is a straight Moneyline call on the better team. Juventus have the more dangerous front line, with Woltemade level at the top of the Europa League scoring chart, and the projection has them outscoring AZ.

AZ have conceded eight goals in their last six games. Juventus have also conceded eight goals in their last six games, so neither defense has earned much trust.

AZ Alkmaar vs Juventus Same Game Parlay

Our AZ Alkmaar vs Juventus same game parlay picks lean on the Juventus attack: Woltemade to score, Woltemade to rack up shots, Juventus to score twice and Ayoub Oufkir to be carded.

Nick Woltemade in the Anytime Goalscorer market. The striker has found the net every time out across 3 straight Europa League outings, and everything Juventus build goes through him.

Nick Woltemade Over 2.5 in the Player Shots market. Three or more attempts has been his floor across each of those Europa League games, so volume is not the worry here.

Over 1.5 in the Total Away Goals market for Juventus. They have scored 2+ goals in 3 of their last 3 Europa League games, and AZ's back line is short-handed.

Ayoub Oufkir in the To Be Shown A Card market. Oufkir has gone into the book twice in his 3 most recent Europa League games, which gives this parlay a little extra bite.

AZ Alkmaar vs Juventus Talking Points

The subplot writes itself. Teun Koopmeiners returns to AFAS Stadion, where he came through the AZ academy and wore the captain's armband, and he lines up in midfield against his younger brother Peer. Beyond the family drama, this is a sharp Juventus attack against an AZ side that has to finish better than it did against FC Twente and Ajax. Juventus have nine goals from their first three Europa League games this season, and Spalletti will expect that output to travel.
