Our betting tips for AZ Alkmaar vs Juventus
- Tip 1: Juventus to win (Tip 2) — odds 2.05
Juventus are the recommended pick in the 1/X/2 market. They have collected seven points from three Europa League matches, compared with AZ’s six, and have yet to lose in the competition. Their away record is also encouraging: one win from one match. AZ have shown they can be dangerous, especially after a 4-0 away victory in their last European outing, but Juventus have the stronger overall record and arrive after beating Napoli 2-0. At odds of 2.05, an away win is our main betting tip, while recognising that AZ’s home advantage makes this a competitive fixture. - Tip 2: Both teams to score — Yes — odds 1.67
Both sides have demonstrated attacking potential in Europe. AZ have scored six goals in three matches, while Juventus have found the net nine times. The Dutch side’s recent 4-0 win highlights their ability to create chances, and Juventus have scored consistently enough to make an away goal a realistic expectation. AZ have also conceded twice in the league phase, while Juventus have let in three. That combination supports the view that both teams could get on the scoresheet. This is our second sports betting tip and a reasonable option for bettors considering today’s football prediction.
For football bets today, the away win is the stronger choice based on Juventus’s unbeaten start and their current position, while “Both teams to score: Yes” offers an alternative focused on the attacking numbers. As with any betting tips, odds and outcomes can change, so consider your stake carefully.

AZ Alkmaar performance check
AZ Alkmaar have taken six points from their opening three Europa League matches, placing them 10th in the table. Their record stands at two wins and one defeat, with six goals scored and two conceded. At the AFAS Stadion, they have made a positive start, winning their only home match so far. That home result gives Leeroy Echteld’s side a platform to build on, although the sample is still limited.
AZ’s last five matches across all competitions have brought two wins, one draw and two defeats. Their most recent result was a 1-0 away loss to Ajax Amsterdam, a narrow setback after a more convincing European performance. In their latest Europa League fixture, AZ won 4-0 away against FC Ararat-Armenia. The contrast between those results suggests a side capable of producing a strong attacking display, but not yet entirely consistent from game to game.
The six goals AZ have scored in Europe indicate that they can pose a threat, particularly if they find space to attack at home. Their defensive record is also respectable at two goals conceded in three matches. However, Juventus represent a significant step up in opposition from AZ’s previous European fixture, and the hosts will need to remain disciplined when possession changes hands.
Juventus arrive with an unbeaten European record
Juventus sit seventh with seven points, having recorded two wins and one draw in their first three Europa League matches. Luciano Spalletti’s team have scored nine goals and conceded three, giving them a strong goal difference and one more point than AZ. Their away record is currently one win from one match, a useful sign ahead of this trip to Alkmaar.
Across their last five matches in all competitions, Juventus have also recorded two wins, one draw and two defeats. Their latest outing brought a 2-0 home victory over Napoli, providing a positive result before travelling to the Netherlands. In Europe, their most recent match ended in a 2-2 home draw against Stade Rennais. That game showed Juventus can score, but also that they may give opponents opportunities.
The nine goals in the league phase make Juventus the more productive attack of the two sides on the figures provided. Their unbeaten European start and recent win over Napoli add to the case for backing them, though the 2-2 draw with Rennes is a reminder that the visitors are not guaranteed a clean sheet. Spalletti’s team will need to balance their forward threat with care against AZ’s home support and attacking intent.
The last direct duels
There is no available information about a previous meeting between AZ Alkmaar and Juventus in either all competitions or the Europa League. The supplied head-to-head record therefore lists zero matches: no wins for AZ, no draws and no wins for Juventus. With no direct history to draw on, the preview must rely on the teams’ current form, European records and home-and-away results rather than past encounters.
Match conclusion and final prediction
This fixture looks competitive, but Juventus have a slight edge on the available evidence. They are unbeaten after three Europa League matches, have scored nine goals and arrive off a 2-0 win over Napoli. AZ have home advantage and have already shown their attacking ability with a 4-0 European victory, so the hosts should not be dismissed. Still, Juventus’s stronger points total, more productive attack and positive away record make them the preferred side.
Our main prediction is a Juventus win, with both teams to score also appealing given the teams’ goal returns and the possibility of AZ making the most of their home setting. These picks are based on the supplied statistics rather than any previous head-to-head record, which is unavailable.
