Win is crucial if AZ wants to place among the best eight teams in the Conference League. For the time being, the Alkmaarders have not managed to score against the tough Poland. Even with one more man, AZ finds few openings in Jagiellonia Bialystok’s defense.
AZ is currently in a virtual 14th place, with a win the team of coach Maarten Martens will climb to the top eight.
