Well-known Ukrainian journalist Artem Frankov told what he expects from the match between the Dutch AZ and Dnipro-1 in the final, 6th round of the group stage of the Conference League, which will be held tomorrow in Alkmaar.
Artem Frankov"Match in friendly mode (both Dnipro-1 and AZ have already solved the problem of reaching the playoffs of the Conference League - ed.) - I cynically do not believe that, busy with the showdown in the national championships and having secured their participation in the spring program of the European Cups, the teams will suddenly arrange a showdown for the first place in the group (our team will take it in case of victory).
As for AvtoZapravka, it is third in the Dutch championship after a difficult home win over Volendam 2:1. Midfielder Dani de Wit, the author of the only goal in the first match between Dnipro-1 and AZ, almost let the team down — he received a direct red card already in the 14th minute, but the Alkmar team managed to do it with ten men. Just before that, AZ lost twice to Rotterdam teams - at home to Feyenoord 1:3 and away to Excelsior 1:2. Apparently, they celebrated the victory over Ajax for a long time (September 18 - 2: 1). AZ is two points behind Ajax and a point behind PSV.
My bet: AZ with minus 1.5 - not because of the lack of respect for Dnipro-1, but the odds are nice, and such a result is still seen as more likely than, for example, total over 2.5 for 1.85 " Frankov said.
