West Ham vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction & Betting Tips - Conference League

 by Steve Ashfield | in Conference League Predictions

After missing out on the Europa League final last season, West Ham United are determined not to face a similar situation this season. The Hammers host AZ Alkmaar in the first leg of this Europa Conference League semifinal. The English Premier League are unbeaten in this competition and domestically looking likely to avoid relegation. Home form is good and they will be all out to ensure they go to the Netherlands for the second leg with a good lead. AZ last reached a European final in 1981 but come into this match in good form, particularly defensively. Can they keep West Ham out is the big question for this first leg.

West Ham - AZ Alkmaar: Form Analysis

West Ham United come into this semifinal having just beaten Manchester United 1-0 at home in the Premier League. That has taken them to 15th in the table, seven points clear of the relegation zone with only three games remaining. Their relegation worries have certainly been eased despite losing the three games before beating Manchester United.  Home form has saved them this season with only two of the last 11 in all competitions and those were to Newcastle United and Liverpool. West Ham won all six of their Europa Conference League group games and in the knockout stages have had wins over AEK Larnaca and Gent. They have won 11 out of 12 games in this season's Europa Conference League, the only one not won was at Gent in the last eight. All six home fixtures have been won with 15 goals scored and four conceded.

AZ Alkmaar are fourth in the Dutch Eredvisie which will see them back in the Europa Conference League next season. They are battling hard to catch third placed Ajax and get into the Europa League. They'll get there of course if winning this competition. AZ are unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions without a goal being conceded. Their most recent match saw them draw 0-0 at Ajax and their form on the road is not impressive at present. Only one of their last four away games has been won with three matches being lost. In the Europa Conference League this season, After an away qualifying loss to Dundee United, AZ won their group by five points but did lose away at Apollon Limassol. The last 16 saw improvement with a couple of 2-1 wins over Lazio but it was a struggle to get past Anderlecht in the last eight. They lost the away first leg 2-0, won at home 2-0 and needed a penalty shootout to get through.

West Ham & AZ Alkmaar Squad Analysis

It was a big win for West Ham on Sunday against Manchester United. Not just the calibre of the opposition (not the goalie though) but it giving them a lot more breathing space in the battle against relegation.. Just one change is likely as Alphonse Areola plays in goal in this competition. The only real concern injury wise is Tomas Soucek. He had a knock on the head in Sunday's game but played all of it and should be ok for this game. 

AZ are likely to be without Jens Odgaard who picked up a thigh injury in the Ajax match at the weekend. If he's not able to play then either Dani de Wit or Mayckel Lahdo may come into the side. They will also be missing Milos Kerkez who is suspended for this match.

Our West Ham vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction

West Ham United have had an impressive season in the Europa Conference League. They have 11 wins out of 12 and won all six at home. Their relegation fears are easing and they can just about concentrate on winning this competition. The win over Manchester United is bound to have given them a confidence boost and they know winning this competition is their only route into European football next season. AZ look like being in Europe next season, perhaps even the Europa League. Their away form is not impressive though and three on the road have already been lost in the Europa Conference League. Our West Ham v AZ prediction is for a home win.
