Djordje Mihailovic is the replacement for the injured Sven Mijnans, who will no longer play this year due to a knee injury. It is the only change that coach Pascal Jansen makes compared to last Sunday’s competition match with FC Volendam.
The Alkmaarders must win the group match in the Conference League to continue to have a chance of qualifying for the knockout phase. AZ is also dependent on the result of the match between Aston Villa and Legia Warsaw, which starts at 9 p.m. If the Poles do not lose in England, AZ will also be eliminated if they win against Zrinjski Mostar.
More than two months ago, AZ bizarrely lost the away match against the Bosnians. A 3-0 lead was completely given away in the second half: 4-3. Jansen’s team is looking for revenge tonight.
