Head-to-Head AZ Alkmaar vs Galatasaray Istanbul
The upcoming match will be the first in the history of head-to-head encounters between AZ Alkmaar vs Galatasaray Istanbul.
AZ Alkmaar
One of the consistent leaders of the Dutch Eredivisie completely failed October, not securing a single victory in five matches. In November, the situation improved slightly, but Maarten Martens’ team has not managed to start a winning streak. In the last round of the championship, they achieved the necessary result, but even beating modest Sparta was a struggle and not entirely deserved (2:1). The victory over Fenerbahce (3:1) in the previous round of the Europa League was also not convincing, as the match was evenly contested.
Galatasaray
Galatasaray has no problems with results at all. They confidently lead the Turkish championship and have emerged as leaders in the Europa League thanks to a victory over Tottenham (3:2) in the last round. The team is on a 7-match winning streak and intends to continue dominating in all tournaments they participate in. However, there was some bad news. In the same game against the “Spurs,” Mauro Icardi tore his cruciate ligaments, so now all hopes in attack rest on Victor Osimhen.
Prediction on Goals
For Galatasaray in the Europa League, every match is a goal-scoring spectacle. Less than four goals have not been scored yet, with the “Lions” themselves surpassing the total bet three times. AZ is a team from the Netherlands, where attacking football is also preached, so we choose total over 2.5 goals.
Prediction on Corners
In this component, Galatasaray also looks significantly better. They have not taken fewer than 5 corners in any of the previous four rounds, with an average of 7.3 corners per game. We also present a trend where the “Lions” take more than 3.5 corners in 12 out of their last 13 away matches. We will bet on this option.
Match Prediction
Galatasaray looks preferable both in terms of player selection and current form. The team is in good shape, and their play is effective. We do not think that the Turkish champion will be deterred by the away factor. We believe that in a high-scoring match, the visitors will prevail with a score, for example, of 3:1. Regardless of the final numbers on the scoreboard, an optimal bet seems to be total over 2.5 goals, which has played out in 5 consecutive AZ matches and in 12 out of Galatasaray’s last 14 matches.Will the prediction come true?
