This will be the sides’ first clash, as they haven’t had a chance for a head-to-head encounter before.
AZ Alkmaar have been in fine form since snatching an important point at Partizan Belgrade (2-2) with ten men midway through September, now hosting Manchester United hoping to build on their fine form and three consecutive wins they’ve earned in Eredivisie over the past two weeks.
Cheeseheads have beaten ADO Den Haag (0-1), Feyenoord (0-3), Heracles (2-0) and kept clean sheets on all three occasions, proving themselves a very tough nut to crack and capitalizing on such defensive displays as they sit just a point behind pace-setters Ajax. They’ll now want to show off such a character and we feel Arne Slot should have no troubles motivating his men.
Manchester United have been far from their best and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could be in for a tougher task as his men saw their worst start in decades, sitting 10th after seven games played – with just nine points earned. They narrowly beat Astana (1-0) in Group L and get more to build on in that sense, despite far from a dominant display with a rotated line-up.
Red Devils have seen a 2-0 loss at West Ham, League Cup thriller against Rochdale (win on penalties after a 1-1 draw), and a 1-1 draw against Arsenal since. They’ll now be desperate to put such a streak behind them but the visitors could be in for a great challenge at Cars Jeans Stadion.
We will now stick our necks out for AZ to hold off the Premier League rivals and we’ll go for a Draw here, which comes at 23/10 with Ladbrokes and looks like more than just a lively longshot at this point.
AZ have been very tough defensively and we expect to see more of the same on the day. With hope they’ll prove themselves a tough nut once again, we’re also going for few goals and backing Under 2.5 Goals FT at 10/11 with bet365.
