Anderlecht Team News
In the two games between Anderlecht and Villareal, we saw three goals. In the first game, the two teams played 1:1. A week later, Villareal was the host, played better throughout the game, and had twice as many chances as the guests. However, Islam Slimani scored a goal in the 73rd minute and took Anderlecht to the round of 16.
Anderlecht recorded four wins, three draws, and three losses in the European Conference League. They finished the competition’s group stage as much as 10 points behind West Ham United in Group B. Brian Riemer’s team needed a lot of luck in the first step to advance. Against Ludogorets, in the first knockout round, they had a score of 2:2, and penalties decided the winner.
Anderlecht is now six games unbeaten in all competitions and has not conceded a goal in five. In such circumstances, this team enters the match against Alkmaar with confidence.
AZ Alkmaar Team News
AZ Alkmaar is the surprise of this competition because they entered it through the qualifiers. They were the best in their group and won five out of six matches. They entered the knockout stage as outsiders, and in the round of 16, they met the favored Lazio. In the first and second matches, it was 2:1 for AZ Alkmaar. Not only did the Dutch win, but they were a better rival than Lazio during the games.
AZ Alkmaar went on an eight-match unbeaten run between November and February before stringing together five straight wins in February and March. They need to be playing better lately.
In the previous match, they lost to Sparta from Rotterdam 1:0. They drew 1:1 with Heerenveen and lost to Twente 2:1. Because of that lousy series, they stopped in fourth place in the Eredivisie, five points less than PSV, and Ajax. They will be out of European competitions next season if they do not improve their form in the next six games.
