AZ Alkmaar vs Dundee United Predictions

• AZ have won three of their four matches this season
• United are on a run of just one victory in nine away European ties
• AZ have never lost at home in the Europa Conference League

AZ should still progress

A 1-0 defeat in the first leg of this third qualifying round tie remains the only blot on AZ’s copybook this season, as they have otherwise won three from three.

The Dutch outfit, who have also picked up four victories and a draw from five previous home games in the Europa Conference League, beat Go Ahead Eagles 2-0 in the Eridevisie at the weekend.

They reached this round of the competition by beating Tusla City 5-0 on aggregate, including 1-0 at AFAS Stadion, and have still only conceding one goal in four outings this summer.

Can Dundee United hold on?

Glenn Middleton’s second half goal handed Dundee United the advantage in this tie, but they followed that up by losing 1-0 in the SPL to Livingstone at the weekend.

New manager Jack Ross has only won one of this three games in charge, with the other ending as a 1-1 draw away to Kilmarnock.

And his side have history against them in terms of European competition, as they have picked up just one victory in nine away ties in continental football since 1990.

I predict that AZ Alkmaar progress in this tie as I think they will win to nil, with a 2-0 victory my correct score prediction.
