Ferencváros vs AZ Alkmaar prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 30, 2025
One of the matches in the final round of the Europa League group stage will be played in Budapest, where local team Ferencváros will host AZ Alkmaar at the Groupama Arena. I suggest betting on goals in this match with good odds.
Match Preview
Robbie Keane's team struggled in the last round, losing 0-2 to Eintracht Frankfurt away. This defeat marked Ferencváros' fourth in this Europa League campaign and their second consecutive loss. Moreover, in the last two matches, the team conceded seven goals, which contrasts with the first five matches, where they conceded just five goals.
Currently, the team sits in 22nd place with nine points. To guarantee their place in the knockout stage, they must win the next match. Additionally, it is worth noting that Ferencváros has not won in regular time in 10 out of their last 13 Europa League matches, finishing with three draws and seven losses.
On the other hand, AZ Alkmaar secured an important 1-0 victory against Roma in the last round. This win extended their unbeaten streak in the Europa League to four matches, with two wins and two draws. The team also managed to keep a clean sheet for the first time in this season's competition.
Currently, the Dutch side has 11 points and sits in 14th place in the standings, giving them a good chance to progress to the knockout rounds. A draw in this match would be enough to secure their qualification. Also, the team has not lost in regular time in 6 out of their last 8 Europa League matches, with 4 wins and 2 draws.
