Crystal Palace vs AZ Alkmaar Bet Builder, Predictions, Tips & Latest Odds
Lewis Watson 
Crystal Palace have shaken off their recent wobble in style.
After seeing their club-record 19-game unbeaten run come to an end, Oliver Glasner’s side have bounced back with two commanding wins over Liverpool and Brentford, racking up a combined 5-0 scoreline.
They’ll be aiming to make it three on the spin as they return to Selhurst Park, a ground that’s been something of a fortress — just one defeat in any competition since February.
That lone loss did come on matchday two of the Conference League, when AEK Larnaca stunned the Eagles with a 1-0 upset.
AZ Alkmaar suffered an even heavier blow against the same opponents, losing 4-0 on matchday one, but they responded superbly.
Five straight wins in all competitions — including an impressive 2-0 triumph over Ajax — have reignited their push for the Eredivisie title and reminded everyone of the pedigree that took them to the Europa League last 16 last season.
Their away form in Europe remains a concern, though, with just two wins from their last 14 trips — a record they’ll need to improve if they’re to challenge Palace in London.
Let’s take a look at the best tips for Thursday’s clash in South London.
Crystal Palace vs AZ Alkmaar Tips
Tip 1: Crystal Palace to win and BTTS – 15/8
Palace are back winning and scoring, and arguing that AZ Alkmaar are a stronger outfit than either Liverpool or Brentford is a tricky task.
Glasner’s side have high hopes for the Conference League this season, and with one defeat already can’t afford to slip further down the 36-team table.
An uncharacteristically open game could be on the cards on Thursday with small tweaks to either side and Palace taking advantage of an Alkmaar side that conceded four on their last European away day.
Tip 2: Ismaila Sarr to score first - 11/2
Eleven goals in his last 20 appearances for club and country is pretty good going for Palace and Senegal winger Ismaila Sarr.
The 27-year-old shone with a brace against Liverpool last week in the EFL Cup, and is a good pick to bag the opener against a questionable Alkmaar defence.
Of those 11 goals, five have come as the first in the match, all landing in the first 45 minutes.
Tip 3: Crystal Palace to win both halves, Over 2 goals and Jean-Philippe Mateta to score – 11/2
Five of Jean-Philippe Mateta’s last seven Crystal Palace goals have come at Selhurst Park, including his only strike in four European outings this season — a reminder that the Frenchman tends to save his best for home.
And if 2+ goals are scored in south London on Thursday, then it wouldn’t be a surprise at all if J-PM was involved.
Bet365 have a cracking price boost (11/2) on this Bet Builder, which is also dependent on Palace winning both halves — something that they have managed twice at home and once away this season.
