AZ Alkmaar vs Hapoel Be'er Sheva Preview

AZ Alkmaar enter this Europa League fixture at the AFAS Stadion desperate to get their campaign moving after losing their opening match, leaving them rooted to 25th in the league phase standings with zero points. Despite that setback, the Dutch side's broader season numbers paint an encouraging picture: an average of 3.2 goals scored and just 1.0 conceded per match across all competitions suggests their quality remains high.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva sit 18th in the standings on one point, having drawn their opener before stringing together three consecutive wins in domestic competition. Their recent form reads impressively, yet this trip to Alkmaar presents a unique challenge. The Israeli side's travelling supporters have been banned from attending due to security concerns, stripping the visitors of any away backing and placing the psychological advantage firmly with the hosts.

AZ Alkmaar's season-long averages tell a compelling story: 3.2 goals scored and just 1.0 conceded per match across all competitions. Those numbers dwarf Hapoel Be'er Sheva's output and suggest the Dutch side possess a clear quality advantage. Playing at home in a match without visiting supporters, AZ should control proceedings from the outset. The home win at 1.29 reflects that expectation.

The Israeli side have won three of their last four fixtures, which deserves respect. However, that form has come largely in domestic competition, and the step up in intensity against an Eredivisie outfit at the AFAS Stadion is considerable. AZ's attacking firepower makes over 2.5 goals at 1.50 an appealing selection, particularly given their prolific scoring record this term.

With both teams needing points, an open contest looks probable. AZ's defensive solidity at home, combined with their potent attack, points towards a comfortable evening for the hosts. The both teams to score market at 1.83 also warrants consideration, as Hapoel may struggle to breach a well-organised Dutch backline operating without the pressure of hostile away support.
