AZ Alkmaar vs Galatasaray Prediction & Betting Tips (13 February)

Alkmaar's overall assessment in the league phase is rather satisfactory with three victories, three defeats, and two draws. The three victories were written at home against competitors like ELSSBORG 3-2, AS Roma 1-0 , and Fenerbahce 3-1 , that is pretty songs in the tournament. The fourth game at home was stressed by sharing points against Galatasaray 1-1. Casually, over the last eight receptions of all competitions, AZ won seven and will have tried to win an 8th last weekend for the arrival of Zwolle in the championship to follow. A championship dominated by the PSV and Ajax but the locals can always claim the last step of the podium, occupied for the moment by the surprising formation of Utrecht.   Blocked at 13 points following his defeat against Ajax during J8 2-1, Galatasaray missed the check mark of the Top 8 with 1 point behind the latter.

A final success against the Ajacids will have enabled the band of Victor Osimhen to finish in 6th place, to the detriment of OL. No time to feel guilty for the double title holder in Turkey who has a stride Gaziantep on the road in the 0-1 championship and crushed Boluspor in the Turkey Cup 1-4. Last weekend, Cimbom, the leader of the Superlig, was trying to increase his advance on the competition by receiving the Red Lantern Demi-Conpor to follow. Note that this season, all competitions combined, Galatasaray has lost only two small games far from his lair, during a confrontation with the Young Boys in the qualification dam for the Champions, and facing Ajax therefore. On the other hand, its assessment in the league phase "outside" is rather calamitous with three draws and one defeat. 

The porter absent very longtime Sam Westerveld should not be back for this part. Same scenario for the very interesting Meerdink (6 championship achievements), for the Ghanaian just as prolific Sadiq (4 achievements, 3 assists in the league), and Van Bommel (3 goals in the Europa League), all three on the flank. No large maneuvers to report during the transfer window among the Dutch people who trust the current group with in particular the impressive Parrott (11 championship achievements), author of 3 goals in the league phase without forgetting to quote the very young Mijnans (4 Achievements, 3 offerings in Eredivisie +3 3 goals in C3) or the Swedish international Espoir Lahdo (3 goals in the league).  Among the Turks, we are obliged to mention the absence for serious injury of the Argentinian striker Mauro Icardi (ex-PSG) who will probably miss the end of the season. Also on the flank, the former German international Demirbay should not evolve in the same way as Mest (5 goals in C3) which did not take part in the last two games of the club. Suddenly, in order to offer competition to the Nigerian Osimhen (5 goals in the Europa League) on the attack front, the leaders recruited Alvaro Morata this winter from AC Milan where he will only have evolved Six months.

Still in the direction of arrivals, Mario Lemina landed from Wolverhampton while Wilfried Zaha, for a time returned from OL spun in MLS while Victor Nelsson was loaned to AS Roma, Michy Batshuayi joined Frankfurt in the form of Transfer and Zaniolo left via a paid loan to Fiorentina. For a long time on the hot seat, Ziyech took a ticket without return to Qatar. During the league phase, the Hungarian Sallai, the environment replacing Aydin, and the sporadic Gurpuz were not registered. One less than a turnaround, they will be ousted for this final phase too. Probable registration, however, for the Kutucu recruit (Eyupspor) which has already scored twice in the championship and in the Turkey Cup.
