Sparta Rotterdam vs AZ Alkmaar – On the first day of the 2022–23 Eredivisie season, AZ Alkmaar defeated Go Ahead Eagles 2-0 after dropping the first leg of its match against Dundee United of Scotland in the UEFA Europa Conference League third qualifying round.
For Pascal Jansen’s team, it was a relatively simple contest, and they had no trouble taking the victory in front of their supporters.
One of the team’s two goals was scored by striker Evangelos Pavlidis, the team’s strongest player. Thus, it was a successful start to the season for a team that lost two important players this summer when Fredrik Midtsjo, a creative midfielder,
moved for Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray and Owen Wijndal left for Ajax.With this team, Alkmaar is certainly not going to contend for the championship. In reality, they struggled greatly in their matches against Dundee United in Europe.
The visitors’ away game against Sparta Rotterdam won’t be a simple assignment, especially given that it’s only three days after a difficult Conference League duel against the Scots.
Even worse for Jansen and his team, Sparta Rotterdam will approach this match on a high following a fine defensive performance in a scoreless draw at Heerenveen on matchday one.
There is no question that Maurice Steijn will set up his team similarly here and attempt to make this encounter as exciting as possible.
Sparta Rotterdam vs AZ Alkmaar – Betting Analysis
We do anticipate a little different situation than we would typically do in the game between these two clubs due to a number of significant factors.
While Sparta’s defense performed admirably on the opening day against Heerenveen, AZ Alkmaar had a difficult European match on
Thursday night against Dundee United. In the final match of Matchday No. 2 in the Eredivisie, we predict a scoreless draw.
In their most recent home games against AZ Alkmaar, Sparta Rotterdam has had success, having won one and drawn two of their last three encounters with them in Rotterdam.
However, Sparta Rotterdam has only managed one victory in their last 15 home matches against AZ Alkmaar. In three of the previous four head-to-head matches, both teams scored.
