Partizan Belgrade vs AZ Alkmaar

Partizan is the upcoming opponent of AZ in the Europa League. That means that AZ may travel to the beautiful city of Belgrade in an attempt to survive the group stage of the European tournament.

Partizan may be a nice name, but most people will not immediately turn on a light when it comes to substantive questions. The team won on Saturday-evening in the Proleter Novi Sad competition, with 0-3 being in fifth place in the Serbian Super League, which, like the Premier League, is on track for about six.

AZ has shown that they have a nice team in those six games. Sparta had to believe it on Saturday evening. It became no less than 5-1. Idrissi (2x), Boadu (2x) and Koopmeiners were the men who scored the five Alkmaarer goals. With that you immediately mentioned a number of great talents. Then there is Calvin Stengs.

AZ therefore has a team on paper with which it can challenge the elite in their own country. Whether that also succeeds in European regions is of course to be seen. One thing is certain: young talents only get stronger from these experiences.

Prediction is difficult. Partizan is too unknown for that. However, it is often difficult to play in countries such as Serbia. On the other hand, AZ has a great team. We are therefore thinking of a draw in Belgrade.

Our Prediction: Draw

Odds: 2.35
