AZ Alkmaar vs Shakhtar Donetsk prediction

The first-leg of this UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-final tie saw Shakhtar Donetsk hammer AZ Alkmaar by three goals to nil with a strike from Pedrinho and then a brace from Alisson Santana at the Henryk-Reyman Stadium in Krakow last week.

The Ukrainians have surpassed expectations, given the situation that they are dealing with off the pitch, as they take on an AZ side that did return to domestic action with an impressive 3-0 hammering of Heerenveen at the weekend.

AZ have been strong this season and, with home advantage, will fancy themselves to take the game to Shakhtar here with a high-scoring affair seeming a good bet at the AFAS Stadion.

AZ Alkmaar vs Shakhtar Donetsk tip: Over 2.5 goals
