Prediction: 3-0
Vaduz
AZ Alkmaar and Vaduz face each other in a David-vs-Goliath clash at AFAS Stadion. Pascal Jansen’s troops aim to retain top position in Group E after defeating Dnipro in their Conference League opener, but they can’t afford any complacency in Thursday’s clash. Midfielder Hakon Evjen, who suffered an injury in a 1-1 draw with Twente, is unlikely to feature against Vaduz, with key attacker Vangelis Pavlidis remaining in the recovery room as well.
The Liechtenstein outfit, on the other hand, had no shots on target in a goalless draw with Apollon, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on AZ Alkmaar. Both Rahimi and Wieser remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting side, while Cedric Gasser is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Xamax.
