During the match between these two teams on April 20th, a lot of soccer fans from the Netherlands and Belgium will be on the edge of their seats. The supporters of AZ will want a repeat of their previous victory over Fortuna Sittard, a 0-3 victory in the Eredivisie.
Jens Odgaard (24′), Milos Kerkez (42′), and Vangelis Pavlidis (84′) scored for AZ. In recent times, AZ has rarely displayed defensive toughness. According to the facts, AZ has conceded seven goals in five of their previous six games.
RSC Anderlecht and their supporters on the road will be hoping for a better outcome in this one after losing to KRC Genk in their previous First Division A game. RSC Anderlecht had 51 percent possession and 13 shots on goal, six of which were successful.
Islam Slimani scored the goals for RSC Anderlecht (43′) and Anders Dreyer (64′). Nine of Genk’s 14 attempts at goal were successful. For KRC Genk, Mbwana Samatta scored 36′, Aziz Ouattara scored 45′, Joseph Paintsil scored 49′, and 87′, and Bilal El Khannouss scored 53′.

During that time, the total average number of goals scored in a game was just 2.17, and Paars-wit’s average was 1.33. We will soon determine whether this trend can continue.

AZ vs RSC Anderlecht Team news :
Jesper Karlsson, a key winger for AZ Alkmaar, has missed the last two games due to injury and appears to be out for the second leg. The 24-year-old Karlsson will be a big loss for the hosts because he has 10 goals and 8 assists this season, including 2 goals and 4 assists in the Europa Conference League.
Accordingly, Vangelis Pavlidis – who has gotten 20 objectives this term – will keep on driving AZ’s assault, with Jens Odgaard, Sven Mijnans, and Myron van Brederode expected to work behind the solitary striker.
Dani de Wit, Bruno Martins Indi, Maxim Dekker, and Sem Westerveld are also on AZ’s injury list, which merits mention. Yari Verschaeren, a playmaker for Anderlecht, will miss the remainder of the season due to an ACL tear. French midfielder Adrien Trebel also has an injury.
Since Brian Riemer may be tempted to use the same starting lineup that won the first leg last week, Islam Slimani is likely to attack alongside Anders Dreyer and Francis Amuzu. In defense, Zeno Debast and veteran center-back Jan Vertonghen will continue, and Majeed Ashimeru and Amadou Diawara, and Lior Refaelov are expected to join them in midfield.
