Dundee United v AZ Alkmaar Betting Tips [4 August 2022]

AZ Alkmaar had a good run in the Europa Conference League last season, getting past the group stages before falling at the Round of 16 stage. They will hope to go further this season and they’ve already had a positive start ahead of their away game at Dundee United in the first leg of the 3rd qualifying round. Hosts Dundee United are coming from a 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock in their domestic league, a game they should have won but they conceded in stoppage time. That result left Dundee United winless in the last three matches and without a clean sheet in their last four matches. Twice in the last three matches, they’ve conceded two goals and both teams scored in four of their last five matches.

AZ Alkmaar have a good run going into this game – four wins and four clean sheets in their last four matches. It will give them even more confidence that in the 2nd qualifying round of this competition, they beat Tuzla City of Lithuania 4-0 to complete a 5-0 aggregate rout. Dani de Wit scored twice in the two matches and he will be among the leading lights in this game. The four clean sheets in four matches mean defensively, AZ are strong and the same applies in attack as well, having scored at least a goal in those four games. They have one loss in their last 10 Conference League matches and in this run they have scored in each of the games.
