Dundee United vs AZ Alkmaar Predictions

• The hosts are without a clean sheet across their previous five matches.
• AZ Alkmaar have won all of their last four games to nil.
• Dundee United have conceded first in four of their previous five games.

Wins are hard to come by for hosts

Dundee United fans must be absolutely elated that their side are battling it out for a place in Europe and even the qualifiers are setting up some exceptional matches. One thing that will be of concern, however, is their inability to get into the lead and stay there in matches as they have emerged victorious in just two of their last ten fixtures – a run stretching back to last season. Jack Ross will oversee his side as they look to continue their European journey, however, he will need to shore up their defence as a run of five straight games without a clean sheet is not conducive to long-term success.

Dutch outfit AZ Alkmaar make the trip across the channel and they were an exciting team to watch last season. Their last four matches have produced four victories and that includes a two-legged affair against Tuzla City in which they secured a 5-0 win on aggregate.
They have an aggressive style of play with quick movements and they will feel more than confident that they can leave Tannadice Park with a victory here.

AZ to edge exciting clash

We do fancy the visitors to clinch a victory, however, they are entertainers and Dundee United have looked susceptible at the back. The hosts have also begun their league journey and that will be the priority for Jack Ross. We’ll side with an Alkmaar win and at least three goals scored.
