West Ham travels to Alkmaar to face AZ and keep their 2-1 lead from the opening leg. The stake is the UEFA Conference League finals.
Before Betting on AZ Alkmaar vs. West Ham
AZ Alkmaar had a vicious intro for Thursday’s clash, trashing FC Emmen this Sunday night, 5-1. We saw them rolling over the rivals already in the first half, scoring all five hits throughout that opening 45 minutes.
Their form is on the rise, with four wins over the previous six events, plus a loss in London and a goalless draw against Ajax on the road. Five of these events ended with at least three goals, while AZ kept clean sheets on four occasions.
West Ham endures pressure from all sides. Even though they moved up away from the relegation zone in the English Premier League, the Hammers still didn’t secure their top-flight status. A loss to Brentford on the road on Sunday, 2-0 is a great blow for this crew.
Previously, we’ve seen them beating Manchester United, 1-0 and AZ, 2-1 both at home. West Ham is terrible on the road lately, losing three in a row, with a combined goal difference of 9-3.

AZ is excellent at home, and they will be ultra-aggressive right from the start. They’ve shown quality in the opening 90 minutes, taking the lead but failing to keep it. West Ham doesn’t know to defend properly, with the defense falling apart often. That’s why we bet on the hosts to advance to the finals.
