Aston Villa - AZ Alkmaar: Form Analysis
Villa came away with a 4-1 victory against AZ at the AFAS Stadion last month. However, that scoreline undoubtedly flattered the Villains a little. In the end, it came down to clinical finishing, with Villa scoring four of their five shots on target. The Lions have been doing very well back in the Premier League as well. They are in fifth place, though they suffered a defeat away to Nottingham Forest last weekend. Nevertheless, Villa are strongly fancied here due to their excellent home record under Unai Emery. They are on a 12-match winning streak at home in league matches and have lost only once in their last 17 in all competitions.
Meanwhile, AZ Alkmaar played out a 1-1 draw against Excelsior in the Eredivisie over the weekend. That result saw them keep their unbeaten league record intact with eight wins and two draws in ten matches this season. They are second behind PSV in the Dutch Eredivise but seven points adrift with a game in hand. However, they will be hoping to bring their domestic form to Europe. The visitors have lost two and won one of their three matches in this competition. Notably, they conceded four goals in each of those defeats, which is in stark contrast to their league record of 0.5 goals conceded per match. Still, AZ would have taken several positives from their last match against this opponent, and if they can cut out individual mistakes, this one could be much closer. The Cheese Farmers' both losses in this competition were in away games, and the bookmakers are pricing them at long odds to win this one.

Aston Villa & AZ Alkmaar Squad Analysis
After a disappointing display at Nottingham Forest at the weekend, Unai Emery may be tempted to make some changes for this Europa Conference League game against AZ at Villa Park. That's also likely due to the fact his side has a key Premier League game against Fulham on Sunday and he will want to see them avoid a second successive poor result in the top flight. Tyrone Mings, Emi Buendia and Jacob Ramsey will continue to be missing from their squad due to injury. Alex Moreno has recovered from his hamstring injury and may take some part in this game. AZ will be hoping for more goals from Vangelis Pavlidis who has scored 13 goals for them in the Dutch Eredivisie this season. Bruno Martins Indi made his return at the weekend and Alexandre Penetra is expected to be part of a back four hoping to do better than in the reverse fixture. Mayckel Lahdo will miss this match through suspension.
