The upcoming game between AZ Alkmaar and AS Roma will be important for both teams. Neither of the teams secured a place in the knockout phase, and both hope to take something from Thursday's match.
AZ Alkmaar have another solid season. They, as usual, can't compete with the best Eredivisie teams, but Maarten Martens' team is sixth and has a chance to compete for the Europa League or Conference League places. AZ Alkmaar are in phenomenal form, with 11 games without defeat. In the previous game, they played 0-0 on the road against Utrecht. The teams were pretty even and splitting the points was probably the fairest possible outcome.
Claudio Ranieri is AS Roma's third head coach this season. They struggled for most of the year, but the situation improved since Ranieri came, so now, AS Roma moved to the top half of the table. They are currently in a run of six games without defeat. In the previous round, AS Roma won 3-1 at home against Genoa. The home side finished with xG of 1.51, while the guests had 0.50, so AS Roma's victory was well deserved.
AZ Alkmaar vs AS Roma pick: Both teams to score - yes
AZ Alkmaar scored at least one goal in 14 of the last 15 matches. On the other hand, AS Roma scored at least one goal in each of the previous six games. We should expect both teams to score at least once in Thursday's match.
AZ Alkmaar team news
AZ Alkmaar wasn't too active in the January transfer window. The team only left two players on loan, Dave Kwakman and Lequincio Zeefuik.
