About this match

**AZ's Europa League hopes get a reality check against a streaking Israeli side.** Alkmaar are wobbling domestically with just one win in five, while Hapoel Be'er Sheva roll in with three victories on the spin — not exactly the form differential you want when hosting a Round 2 qualifier. 🔴

AZ have looked fragile on the road (losses to Feyenoord and Sunderland), but home turf at AFAS should help. Hapoel's resilience is real, though that 5-2 shellacking to Sabah FK weeks back raises durability questions.

Key storylines:

- **AZ's midfield control** via **P. Koopmeiners** and **L. Schouten** will be crucial to dictating tempo against a side that loves to press
- **Hapoel's counter-punch threat** through **Z. Ahmed** and **J. East** could exploit any AZ sloppiness at the back
- Missing **J. Hornkamp** limits Alkmaar's attacking depth, shifting more creativity through the flanks

Expected lineups:

- **AZ Alkmaar**: J. De Busser, M. Chávez, W. Goes, R. Ichihara, L. Schouten, P. Koopmeiners, R. Daal, W. Patati, D. Kwakman, E. Dijkstra, M. Meerdink
- **Hapoel Be'er Sheva**: O. Marciano, P. Amador, M. Vítor, I. Rotman, G. Mizrahi, L. Ventura, N. Yehoshua, E. Peretz, Z. Ahmed, J. East, M. A. Rumi

Prediction: **AZ Alkmaar 2–1 Hapoel Be'er Sheva** — home advantage and midfield experience edge it, but Hapoel's form keeps it tight. ⚪
