Crystal Palace vs AZ Alkmaar Preview and Team News
Crystal Palace Team News
Crystal Palace suffered an unexpected defeat in the second round of the Conference League. Facing Cypriot side AEK Larnaca at home, the Eagles lost 0-1 despite having the initiative and producing 1.76 xG.
Nevertheless, Oliver Glasner’s men bounced back with two consecutive victories. First, they beat Liverpool 0-3 in the EFL Cup and then grabbed a routine 2-0 win over Brentford. After the result, Palace sit ninth with 16 points after 10 rounds.
In the upcoming clash, the team will be without Caleb Kporha, Cheick Doucoure, Eddie Nketiah, Chadi Riad, and Adam Wharton. Borna Sosa, who has served his suspension, is set to return to action.

Alkmaar’s winning run now stretches to five matches, as they’ve also defeated Sparta Rotterdam in the Eredivisie. While Troy Parrott missed a penalty in the 28th minute, Kees Smit netted from outside the box to secure all three points.
AZ are also dealing with injuries. Jordy Clasie, Seiya Maikuma, and Mexx Meerdink will be unavailable.

Crystal Palace vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Crystal Palace to Win
- Odds: -228 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Crystal Palace 2-1 AZ Alkmaar
Crystal Palace have been one of the most consistent teams this season. The same can be said about AZ, but the difference in quality is notable.
While this is the first clash between the clubs, Alkmaar’s attacking style could be easily exploited by the Eagles. Thanks to the Sarr-Mateta-Pino trio in the front, they’re capable of swiftly penetrating defensive barriers.
Crystal Palace have already lost a game where they were considered favourites against AEK Larnaca. Hence, we expect the hosts to have an advantage and eventually grab three points.
Crystal Palace vs AZ Alkmaar Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: -129 (Tonybet)
We’ve already witnessed in the Conference League that scoring goals, even against stronger teams, is possible. Alkmaar won’t sit passively in defence, and when given a chance, they’ll likely counter from the flanks.
It’ll also be exciting to see a duel between Jean-Philippe Mateta and Troy Parrott. Both are in great form and should get their chances.
We expect an open game, with both clubs pushing forward rather than adopting a defensive approach. As such, a high-tempo match with goals at both ends seems the most reasonable outcome.
