AZ Alkmaar vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting Tips (23 January)

This Dutch team from Alkmaar offers its share of thrills to its supporters by being clearly engaged in the race for the play-off with only 1 point behind its evening counterpart. 19th, AZ will end its league phase adventure in Hungary against Ferencvaros, a very perilous trip. Note that in the competition, the locals have not lost for three matches including a great victory against José Mourinho's Fenerbahce still 3-1 , and two parity scores against Galatasaray 1-1, and Ludogorets last place 2-2. Last weekend, during their trip to Utrecht, Alkmaar put their streak of 10 matches without defeat in all competitions on the line. Within this run, we note that he beat Ajax in the 1/8 finals of the national cup 2-0.   Rather poorly in Serie A 10th, the semi-finalist of the last edition of the C3 will probably be keen to make a run in the European Cup since a priori, barring a turnaround, the top 6 in SA will be difficult to pick up.

At least, not impossible. To hope to regain the hope of qualifying for the European Cup next year, La Louve should have started with a victory against Genoa at home last weekend to follow. Note that in the championship, Dybala's partners enjoyed a series of four days without defeat for a record of 2 victories against Parma 5-0, and in the derby against Lazio 2-0 . Facing Champions League caliber opponents such as Bologna 2-2 and AC Milan 1-1, Roma managed to bring home points.

Suspended for the poster against Ludogorets, Smit may once again be eligible to play on the European scene. On the other hand, still injured, the long-term absent goalkeeper Westerveld will once be absent from the match sheet. He is not the only one to occupy care since the important Sadiq (4 goals, 3 assists in only 7 appearances in the championship) is also on the flank like the young talents that are Schouten (20 years old) and Ruben van Bommel (2 goals, 2 assists in the league this season), major element in C3 with 3 pawns in the competition.   At AS Roma, Claudio Ranieri will probably have to compose his group without Bryan Cristante, the only one absent from the pro group.

The Frenchman Manu Koné will be there, as will the essential Dybala (5 goals in the league) still without a goal in C3, the Italian international Pellegrini (1 goal, 1 assist in the competition), or the German Hummels, the Ukrainian striker Dovbyk, and former Monegasque El Shaarawy. Remember that Enzo Le Fée was loaned to Sunderland for the second part of the season while Zalewski arouses the desires of OM.
