AZ Alkmaar vs Sturm Graz
Predictions
AZ Alkmaar are having a rough run. They have lost four of their last five games and only managed a draw in the other one, so confidence looks low right now. Sturm Graz are struggling even more, with heavy defeats in their recent matches and just one win to show for it, though that win was a solid away performance. Neither team is in good form, and both have looked shaky at the back lately.
There are no recent meetings between these two to go on, so it is hard to say whether this one tends to be high-scoring. Both sides have had trouble scoring consistently and have been conceding goals, which makes the match feel close and hard to call. Given AZ Alkmaar are at home and Sturm Graz have been leaking goals badly, a narrow home win looks most likely, though a draw would not be a surprise.
