Command Analysis
AZ Alkmaar
AZ started with a defeat in the Europa League. In the first round, the cheese farmers visited England and could not beat Sunderland. The match ended with a score of 0:1, where the hosts scored the only goal in the 66th minute from the penalty spot. In the Dutch championship, Lee-Roy Echtelda's team occupy a high third place in the standings with 19 points in the asset, lagging behind the first line by only one point. In the last round, the team lost to the leader Feyenoord (0:2), and earlier outplayed Telstar on its own field (1:0).
Hapoel Beer Sheva
The team in the first round of the second most important European tournament played against Dinamo Zagreb, and the opponents could not identify the winner. The match ended in a goalless draw, however, Hapoel owned the ball most of the time (66%), but shot only four times on goal. In the Israeli championship, the wards of Ran Kozhukh occupy the fourth place in the standings and have suffered only one defeat since the start of the championship, losing to the leader of Maccabi Tel Aviv (1:4). In the last round, a 2-0 victory over Ironi was recorded.
The Dutch club has the task of winning its first victory on the European stage, but the guests are militant and can create certain problems. AZ looks convincing at home and has not lost yet, so the home field factor will play an important role in the match. We expect that Ehteld's team will press and put pressure on the Israeli team from the first minutes, which will lead to a confident victory with a difference of several goals, which we will bet on.
Betting Tip – Asian handicap (-1.5) on AZ with a coefficient of 1.82
