- AZ阿尔克马尔本赛季20场比赛中有19场进球。
- Palace在过去的10场比赛中有8场进球。
- 两队在老鹰队最近七场主场比赛中都有四场得分。
两队都在塞尔赫斯特公园得分
水晶宫在上一轮会议联赛中被敲响了警钟，因为他们在主场以1比0输给了AEK拉纳卡，当AZ阿尔克马尔周四访问塞尔赫斯特公园时，他们将热衷于做出回应。
AZ在这场比赛中也输给了AEK，因为他们在塞浦路斯以4比0落后。然而，这一结果被证明是荷兰队的一个转折点，因为自那场失利以来，他们已经赢得了全部五场比赛。
Palace显然是夺冠热门，但随着AZ的状态，最好的选择可能是支持两端的进球，而不是专注于结果。在塞浦路斯的失利是本赛季AZ唯一一场没有得分的比赛，而Palace在所有比赛的8场主场比赛中有6场得分，在过去10场比赛中有8场得分。
AZ可能状态不错，但Palace在上周的EFL杯上击败利物浦，然后在周末的联赛中击败布伦特福德后，似乎也出现了一些转机。皇宫队有足够的实力战胜荷兰队，2比1的主场胜利是正确的得分预测。
Jean-Philippe Mateta已经开始了Palace的两场联盟比赛，应该会在周四的比赛中出场。这位法国人在本赛季的10场英超比赛中攻入6球，并在上次对阵布伦特福德的比赛中结束了三场比赛的进球荒，因此他看起来是随时对阵安智的有力竞争者。
- AZ Alkmaar have scored in 19 of their 20 games this season.
- Palace have scored in eight of their last 10 games.
- Both teams have scored in four of the Eagles last seven home games.
Both teams to score the starting point at Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace were given a bit of a wakeup call in the last round of Conference League fixtures as they went down 1-0 at home to AEK Larnaca and they will be keen to respond when AZ Alkmaar visit Selhurst Park on Thursday.
AZ have also suffered a chastening loss to AEK in this competition as they went down 4-0 in Cyprus. That result proved to be a bit of a turning point for the Dutch side, however, as they have won all five of their games since that loss.
Palace are the clear favourites but with AZ in form the best bet could be backing goals at both ends, rather than focusing on a result. The defeat in Cyprus is the only game this season in which AZ have failed to score, while Palace have scored in six of their eight home games across all competitions and in eight of their last 10 overall.
AZ may be in form, but Palace appear to have turned a bit of a corner themselves after beating Liverpool in the EFL Cup last week and then seeing off Brentford in the league at the weekend. Palace have enough quality to grind out a win over the Dutch outfit and a 2-1 home victory is the correct score prediction.
Jean-Philippe Mateta has started both of Palace’s Conference League games and should be involved from the off on Thursday. The Frenchman has six goals in 10 Premier League games this season and ended a three-match goal drought against Brentford last time out, so he looks a contender for an anytime effort against AZ.
