THE PREDICTION

This is an intriguing semi-final clash indeed between red-hot AZ and an Ajax side coming off a rare defeat. Travelling Ajax lost 2-1 at Go Ahead Eagles p=on Sunday after a disappointing 2-2 draw at Benfica in the Champions League and perhaps the tight fixture turnaround has effected their potency. Hosts AZ are unbeaten in a remarkable 18 matches across all competitions after grabbing a fifth-straight win on the spin 2-1 at Feyenoord on Sunday. Matches between these sides rarely disappoint and AZ will be in a confident mood after winning the revers of this fixture 1-2 at Ajax in the league back in December. Notably, the away side has won four of the last five meetings between these two sides and AZ are admittedly more potent on the road. Opting for over 2.5 goals in this match and leaving the winner up to chance seems a suitable alternative to picking a winner here but otherwise backing Ajax to scrape through to the final at ‘to qualify’ is the likelier way this tight one falls.
