AZ vs Vojvodina predictions, betting tips & match preview

AZ reached the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League with a 4th place finish in the Dutch Eredivisie. They followed this up with a 3-1 aggregate win over PAS Giannina to reach the play-off round. They comfortably won the first leg of this tie 3-0 away and should coast to an easy victory again on Thursday.

Vojvodina earned their place in the Europa League qualifiers with a 4th place finish in the Serbian Super Liga. This gave them a spot in the 1st round of qualifying, where they faced Bokelj of Montenegro and saw them off easily with a 6-1 aggregate win. They proceeded to knock out Connor’s Quay 3-1 in the 2nd round before knocking out Belorussian side Dinamo Minsk 3-1 on aggregate in the 3rd qualifying round.

AZ finished last season with 4 wins and 1 loss from 5 home games, scoring 17 and conceding 7. They followed this up with a 2-2 draw at home this season, a 2-1 win away at Utrecht and a 1-0 loss away at PSV.  They should come into this game full of confidence and expecting the win.

Vojvodina finished last season with 3 wins and 2 losses from their last 5 away games. They started the new campaign in similar fashion, winning 4 and drawing 1 of their first 5 games. However, the quality of teams in the Serbian League isn’t quite at the same level as a team like AZ, so expect them to struggle like they did in the first leg.

AZ’s superior team and home advantage should push them to an easy win in this fixture, so we’re betting on AZ -1 Asian Handicap at 1.725 as well as a correct score of 3-0 to AZ.
