AZ already qualified for the next round of the KNVB Cup on December 3, so Maarten Martens’ team will be the only Dutch club to play in Europe on Thursday. The opponent in Alkmaar is Jagiellonia, which collected one point less this campaign. A place in the top eight is still within reach for both teams.
AZ’s line-up: Owusu-Oduro; De Wit, Goes, Penetra, Chávez; Koopmijners, Mijnans, Smit; Patati, Parrott, Jensen.
