AZ Alkmaar vs IF Elfsborg Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League

Prediction published on 25/09/2024, 09:03 by Devesh Jaganath in Europa League Predictions

The 2024-25 Europa League season is finally here, and kicking off the highly-anticipated new-look competition will be AZ Alkmaar taking on Elfsborg at AFAS Stadion on Wednesday evening. De Kaasboeren qualified for this competition by finishing fourth in the Eredivisie last season, while Di Gule were runners-up in Allsvenskan. Check out our match prediction below.

AZ Alkmaar are returning to the Europa League proper for the first time since the 2020-21 season and will be aiming for a better performance than their Conference League run last term when they failed to get beyond the group stage. Elfsborg, meanwhile, are back in Europe’s second-tier cup competition after a decade-long hiatus, having last featured in the main draw in 2013-14.

The hosts have made an imposing start to their domestic league season and enter this contest as the clear favourite. Let’s take a look at some of the key stats to consider in this opening-round encounter.

AZ Alkmaar - IF Elfsborg: Form Analysis

AZ Alkmaar will kick off their Europa League campaign in fine spirits having made a positive start to the Eredivisie season, currently second in the league standings behind PSV after six games.

De Kaasboeren have taken 16 points over that period and are still unbeaten, recording five wins and a draw, with the most recent match ending in a 2-1 victory against PEC Zwolle over the weekend.

At home, the hosts are unbeaten in their last eight competitive matches, winning seven and drawing just one, a record that dates all the way back to a 1-0 loss to Feyenoord at the start of February last season.

AZ Alkmaar have scored two or more goals in eight of their last nine competitive home matches!

Meanwhile, after an incredible 2023 league season which saw them miss out on the title by the slenderest of margins, Elfsborg have struggled to follow up this term, currently down in sixth place in the standings.

Di Gule experienced a poor start to the season, losing six of their first 12 matches, but they have improved significantly in the second half of the campaign and are currently unbeaten in their last 12 games in all competitions, including seven wins and five draws.

The visitors avoided defeat in all eight of their qualifying matches in this competition, recording aggregate wins over Pafos (8-2), Sheriff (3-0), Rijeka (3-1) and Molde on penalties in the final qualifying round.

AZ Alkmaar & IF Elfsborg Squad Analysis

AZ Alkmaar are expected to be without the services of three first-team players in midweek, with Mees de Wit (foot), Bruno Martins Indi (hamstring) and Sem Westerveld (knee) all ruled out through injury.

Ernest Poku and Jeroen Zoet have shaken off knocks and should be part of the selection equation for Maarten Martens, while central midfielder Lewis Schouten is still flagged as a doubt.

In their last two matches, Ibrahim Sadiq and Troy Parrott have scored three and four respectively for AZ!

For Elfsborg, forward Per Frick will be eligible to return to the fray this week after he was forced to sit out the second-leg qualifier against Molde due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Jalal Abdullai and Michael Baidoo were Di Gule’s top scorers during qualifying, notching up three goals each, and they are likely to lead the line in this one alongside Ahmed Qasem.
