AZ Alkmaar vs Roma Prediction

AZ Alkmaar have endured a mixed league phase campaign so far in the Europa League, winning two, drawing two and losing two. Roma meanwhile, have drawn more games but lost one less and avoiding defeat here would keep them above their opponents in the league phase table. Key to Roma’s success has been that rock solid Italian defence who have conceded just five goals so far, an average of less than a goal per game.

Roma are likely to sit in and make themselves as difficult as possible for AZ Alkmaar to break them down. As a result, this could prove to be cagey encounter with the hosts needing to be wary of the counter-attack, even if they are dominating possession. Therefore, it would be a surprise if we saw many goals scored across this contest.

The match outcome could go either way, but with chances potentially being few and far between over the course of 90 minutes, it’s worth considering backing under 2.5 goals to be scored between these two clubs.

AZ Alkmaar vs Roma Tip: Under 2.5 goals
