AZ Alkmaar vs Celtic - Match Preview

Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic takes a 2-0 lead to the Netherlands, with AZ struggling to find a way to the net against phenomenal Joe Hart in the first leg. Read our AZ Alkmaar vs Celtic prediction and betting tips.

AZ Alkmaar VS Celtic - Betting Preview

The AZ Alkmaar players tried to soak the atmosphere from the Celtic Park in the first game but couldn't handle the pressure from the fully packed stadium. Celtic fans made their arena a very hostile place and most of the AZ youngsters played below their average level. They were shaky on and off the ball, constantly playing out of their style, with long passes to the final third, and often caught out positionally. The Scottish team made them prone to making errors in such an environment and they didn’t show much as one of the major teams from the Eredivisie.


A two-goal difference is not something you can’t overtake. AFAS Stadium in Alkmaar isn’t Celtic Park but this time Dutch team will fill a push from the stands. Just like AZ experienced pressure from noise in Glasgow, the Celtic players will feel something similar in the Netherlands. Their only game in Dutch Eredivisie didn't finish according to plans, as RKC Waalwijk got a 1-0 win against AZ, but everyone in the club is well aware that at the start of the season, AZ players and staff are focused on the European games. With experienced Martins Indi in the defense, more than talented Koopmeiners pulling the strings in the midfield, they need to find someone to score the goals. Karlsson is back in the team and he should be the one responsible to find Hart's net in the rematch.


AZ Alkmaar: Verhulst; Sugawara, Letschert, Martins Indi, Oosting; Koopmeiners, Midtsjo, De Wit; Gudmundsson, Pavlidis, Karlsson


Celtic fans have been full of praise for Joe Hart for his performance in the Europa League first leg against AZ Alkmaar. The Bhoys finished the game as confident winners with Japanese striker Kyogo Furuhashi opened the scoring from a Tom Rogić assist just before half-time. Goalscorer then turned to the provider as a new fan favorite from the Celtik park fans then made a beautiful assist for James Forrest, whose strike was deflected but found the net. Former England keeper impressed the fans, leading the backline with commanding vocal presence, installing confidence in the team throughout. Hart has yet to concede a goal at home during Celtic’s run in the Europa League qualifying campaign. The 34-year-old has kept a clean sheet in each of the past two games – against Jablonec and AZ Alkmaar and in him, Celtic will get not only a well-experienced goalkeeper but also and leader worth captain’s armband.


It’s another new test for Postecoglou’s Celtic, the team that found momentum in the last few games. They scored 24 goals in their six-game winning run, claiming another victory for the weekend when Celtic easily passed by St Mirren with a big 6-0 win. Facing a top European side away from home whilst defending a solid advantage won’t be easy for sure, despite the current form. Celtic defender Christopher Jullien remains on the sidelines following his serious knee injury, Karamoko Dembele's ankle issue joined him recently with ankle problems and Mikey Johnston will be out in the next 15 days.


Celtic: Hart; Ralston, Starfelt, Welsh, Taylor; McGregor, Turnbull, Rogic; Abada, Edouard, Furuhashi

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
