AZ vs Roma: Europa League match prediction
The Europa League stage is entering the home stretch. In the seventh round of the European Cup, Dutch AZ will host Italian Roma. Both teams have not lost more than five matches in a row. Who will be lucky enough to extend this streak on January 23? The answer and trending bets are in our betting tip
Command Analysis
AZ Alkmaar
NetherlandsCurrent form
AZ are in great form. Maarten Martens' men have not lost since the beginning of November last year (11 games in a row). In the Europa League, the team is in 20th place in the standings with eight points. The situation is precarious, given that in 25th place are clubs with seven points that are not in the playoff zone. They need to win in the upcoming match, but it will not be easy, because their opponents are Roma, who are also eager to improve their position in the ranking and will clearly not play relaxed.
Disqualifications and injuries
Westerveld will not play in the match due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- AZ are unbeaten for 11 matches in a row
- At home, the Dutch club has scored in 30 games in a row
Estimated line-up: Owusu-Oduro - Maikuma, Penetra, Gus, Wolfe - Klasie, Miinans, Kopmeiners - Poku, Parrott, Lahdo.
Roma
ItalyCurrent form
Roma game has started to improve. Apparently, Claudio Ranieri, who took charge of the team in mid-November last year, has found an approach to his players, because the team has not known defeat for six matches in a row: four wins and two draws. In the Europa League, the Italians have not lost for four matches in a row. This series began before the arrival of the famous Italian specialist, and, of course, no one intends to interrupt it, especially since the opponents are a team that is clearly not higher in terms of play, and a few days ago the guests settled in Serie A, beating Genoa with a score of 3:1.

Cristante will not appear on the field due to an injury.

There are not many injured players in the team. Therefore, we come to the conclusion that the game will be played with headwinds and both the Dutch and Italian teams will be lucky to score in 90 minutes of play.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.71
Here is another one of our predictions for this match.
Bet on the outcome
AZ are the underdogs in this clash, but how about the fact that Roma have not won away for 14 games in a row, while the hosts have won their last five games in front of their home fans. The Italians are certainly stronger in terms of squad, but AZ is not inferior in terms of game ambitions at the moment, so we are inclined to think that the Dutch club will not suffer defeat.
Our prediction is AZ will not lose with odds of 1.67
Bet on corners
Both teams have good attacking potential, so we expect a lot of active play from both teams and a fair number of corner kicks.
