AZ Alkmaar vs Juventus Predictions & Tips – Points Shared in the Europa League
AZ Alkmaar are predicted to draw with Juventus in their upcoming fixture, with both teams expected to score. AZ Alkmaar have been beaten just once in their last 19 home appearances, demonstrating strong form in front of their fans. Juventus, meanwhile, have shown inconsistency and are likely to rotate their squad for this match, which could affect their performance. These factors combine to support the tip of a scoring draw on Thursday, rather than a win for either side.

No Previous Meetings
This is going to be the first head to head match between AZ Alkmaar and Juventus.
AZ Recovered From Initial Loss
AZ Alkmaar missed three big chances in their UEL opening match against Sunderland and lost 1-0 in England, but bounced back instantly by defeating Hapoel Beer Sheva 2-1 in the second round at home.
The Dutch side looked unstoppable two weeks ago in Yerevan, beating Ararat-Armenia 4-0 with Weslley Patati stealing the spotlight netting a brace and providing an assist for Mexx Meerdink.
The Cheese Farmers hit a rough patch since though, losing to Twente 2-0 in late October, while starting this month with another domestic defeat against Ajax 1-0 in Amsterdam.
Juventus Underperforming in Italy
Luciano Spalletti was under massive pressure due to poor domestic form, and he would probably lose his job if Juventus didn't beat Napoli 2-0 last weekend. Kerim Alajbegovic broke the deadlock in the 70th minute with a long-range shot, while Jeremie Boga also found the net.
The Old Lady is looking strong on the Europa League standings, starting the main phase with back to back victories against NEC Nijmegen 5-0 and Celta Vigo 2-1.
In their third match, Juve hosted Rennes two weeks ago and barely snatched a point in a 2-2 draw, Nick Woltemade converting a penalty in the second half.

Verdict
AZ Alkmaar were beaten just once in their last 19 appearances in front of the home crowd. Juventus are inconsistent and likely to rotate here, so I am predicting a scoring draw on Thursday.
