Ferencvarosi vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction 30 January 2025
š Will Ferencvaros be able to secure their spot in the playoffs? In the 8th round of the group stage of the Europa League, the Hungarians are set to face AZ Alkmaar. Currently, both teams are in the top 24 and are potential participants in the round of 32, but clouds are clearly gathering over Ferencvaros. You will find out the most likely outcome of this match from our prediction.
š H2H
Ferencvaros and AZ Alkmaar have never played against each other.
š¢ Ferencvaros
This season, Ferencvaros is facing quite a few problems in all tournaments. They have not yet managed to lead the Hungarian championship, with Puskas Academy providing serious competition and leading after 17 rounds. Although the "Green Eagles" have a game in hand and are only one point behind, everything is not so clear-cut. However, in the Europa League, the Hungarians have lost all their positions in two matches, losing to PAOK (0-5) and Eintracht (0-2), and are now teetering on the edge. Nine points are currently enough for them to advance to the playoffs, but it is unlikely to be sufficient after all eight rounds.
š“ AZ Alkmaar
AZ Alkmaar did not have the best start in this Europa League campaign, but over time the team managed to recover. The team from the Netherlands has gained eight points in the last four rounds, making them a solid mid-table team by league stage standards and ensuring their place in the playoffs. However, things are not going as smoothly in the Eredivisie: AZ Alkmaar is only in sixth place in the national championship, trailing leaders PSV by as many as 15 points after 20 rounds.
ā½ļø Goal Prediction
We are expecting a meeting between not the most prolific teams of the tournament; Ferencvaros and AZ Alkmaar have scored a combined total of 21 goals over seven rounds. It is also important to consider the high significance of this match for the hosts, which almost rules out the prospect of overly open football. Therefore, we suggest betting on Total goals under 3.
š© Corner Prediction
Ferencvaros has rather modest statistics in the Europa League, having earned more than four corners in only one of their seven matches. AZ Alkmaar, on the other hand, concedes an average of just 3.8 corners per match. Therefore, it is worth betting on Individual total corners for Ferencvaros under 4.5.
š Match Prediction
Ferencvaros is under immense pressure due to the possible exit from the Europa League, even though not long ago the team's future seemed bright. The fact that AZ Alkmaar has already secured their playoff spot might save the Hungarians. But this does not mean that the visitors plan to give their opponents a gift. Therefore, the hosts will have to fight for results on their own, and doing so in their current form will not be easy. We expect the match to end in a 1-1 draw.
A lot will depend on the attitude of the Dutch team. If they put up resistance, there might be no goals for a long time during the match. But if they do not take the game seriously, Ferencvaros might quickly open the score and then cautiously hold possession. However, in any scenario, a bet on Total goals under 3 looks good.
