AZ vs Partizan Betting Tips

Thursday night’s clash between AZ Alkmaar and Partizan Belgrade pits two teams against one another who suffered back-to-back losses to their previous two matches.

Partizan started their Europa League group stage campaign positively winning their first two games against AZ and FC Augsburg, but they’ve since lost a pair of games to group topping Athletic Bilbao. The manner of defeat would perhaps be the most frustrating thing for the Serbian side. They lost 2-0 at home and then 5-1 away.

Dutch side AZ Alkmaar have been struggling for form in all competitions. They do finally have consecutive wins in the Dutch Eredivisie, but suffered very disappointing losses to FC Augsburg both home and away in this competition.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. AZ’s game

When they play well, they score a lot of goals, when they play badly, they concede a lot of goals. It always feels likely that Alkmaar will be involved in high-scoring games.

2. Lech Poznan not afraid to have a go

The Polish side are aggressive, they will play to score goals and they will give it a go. It should make for an entertaining game.

3. Group records

17 goals have been scored in four Lech Poznan games in group stage qualifying so far, 14 have been scored in games involved AZ. We think betting on goals is a safe bet here.
