Sunderland and AZ Alkmaar to Trade Goals

Sunderland’s average of under one goal scored per game still pairs with regular concessions that open space for opponents. AZ Alkmaar posts three goals per match on average, creating consistent pressure on away defenses through quick transitions. The Europa League context encourages both sides to commit players forward rather than sit deep. Sunderland’s concession rate near one goal per game aligns with AZ’s attacking volume to suggest away strikes are probable. AZ’s own defensive record of over one goal conceded per game gives Sunderland realistic openings on the break. These patterns combine to favor an exchange of goals over a one-sided or low-scoring affair.
