Athletic Bilbao vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Nella Wagah | in Europa League Predictions
Athletic Bilbao will be back on stage for their second Europa League game, at home to Dutch side AZ. It has been much stable recently for The Lions and they will hope to keep it going when The Farmers visit. We have the preview and a prediction for this match.
In what would be the third meeting between these two, the Spaniards will want to do better after drawing 1-1 with Roma on Match Day 1. In the previous two meetings Athletic Bilbao lost once and the other was drawn.
That was back in 2015 and this will be a perfect opportunity to avenge. The hosts will not look at it in that manner but a win will be on their minds, after drawing the last two matches. The most recent of them was a 1-1 draw with Sevilla.
While Athletic Bilbao drew their opening Europa League game, AZ were on the winning side, beating Elfsborg 3-2. The Dutchmen will be looking to repeat the same away from home.
However, they stumbled after that win, losing 2-1 at home to Utrecht in the Dutch league. That marked the fourth straight match in which AZ failed to keep a clean sheet. I
n their last two matches, they conceded four goals, which will be a major concern as they travel to an in-form team. AZ’s last visit to Spain in this competition ended in a 1-0 defeat at Real Sociedad. They have no win in three Europa League matches.

Our Athletic Bilbao vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction
Both Athletic Bilbao and AZ have impressive scoring records. AZ scored in each of their last five matches, but in that period, they managed just one clean sheet.
It is the same scenario with Athletic Bilbao and these runs include matches in Europe. That trend goes past Europa League matches this season, AZ failing to score in one of five while Athletic scored in all.
Neither of the teams kept clean sheets though. Our prediction for Athletic Club v AZ is for both teams to score.
2 Goals Ahead Early Payout
More than 80 leagues and competitions are available on this football promotion from bet365. If the team that you have backed takes a two-goal lead at any point in the game, then your bet is a winner. This counts on both single bets and on multiple placed on the full time market, though of course on a multiple it is only the game in question that is marked as a winner, all the other selections still have to win as well.
A bet placed on any enhanced price is not valid for this offer, nor any bet that is cashed out. If you have partially chased out, the remainder of the stake is paid out as a winner. If your acca selection would have been a loser but for this offer then you will not gain any acca boost winnings. So for example, your team goes 2-0 up so you are paid out as a winner but the end result is 2-2, your bet is still a winner if all the other selections win but you do not gain any acca boost.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
