Ferencvaros vs AZ Alkmaar: Europa League match prediction
The teams that are in the playoff zone after seven rounds will play the final match of the eighth round of the Europa League stage on January 30. Will Ferencvaros or AZ Alkmaar take points in this meeting? You will find the answer in our betting tip. What is better to choose for a bet?
Command Analysis
Ferencvaros
HungaryCurrent form
Ferencvaros is playing in the Europa League with varying success. The team started the tournament with two defeats, and then showed a series of three victories in a row, and the victories over Dynamo Kyiv and Malmo were very confident - 4:0 and 4:1, respectively. After that, a series of defeats began, in which the team was already losing big. First, they lost to PAOK (0:5), and then to Frankfurt Eintracht (0:2). As a result, after seven rounds played, the Hungarian club is on the 22nd line in the standings, but what does not please the fans is the dependence on the result of the upcoming match. In case of defeat, it is far from certain that Ferencvaros will be able to keep a place in the top 24. Even a draw does not guarantee this. Only a 100% victory will lead to the coveted result - reaching the playoffs.

AZ Alkmaar
NetherlandsCurrent form
AZ are showing quality results in the Europa League. Considering the teams the club has played, they have even been excellent, because after games with such giants of European football as Tottenham, Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Roma, being in 16th place with 11 points is worth a lot.
In the last round, the Dutch club surprised many when they managed to beat Italian Roma 1:0 on their home field. After that, there was a match with Sparta in the national championship, and in that match, the guests of the upcoming meeting lost (1:2). There is no doubt that the team played in energy mode in order to show themselves competently in the upcoming match.

1.74Tip and bets
AZ is the underdog in this match. We disagree with this assumption. Ferencvaros is not playing any better than their upcoming opponent, and we believe that even on their home field the Hungarian team will not be able to achieve their ideal option - a victory. AZ has lost only one match in the last ten meetings. This happened a few days ago, and it is understandable why, since the coaching staff saved their main strength for the upcoming match.
Our prediction is AZ will not lose with odds of 1.58

Our prediction is both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.79

Since we don't expect a boring and sluggish game, it logical to bet on the two opponents making a decent number of corner flag serves.
