Things look anything but rosy for AZ in the Conference League. The Alkmaarders need a small miracle to advance to the next round.

If we look at the standings in Group E of the Conference League, there is only one conclusion to be drawn: AZ need a Houdini act. The Alkmaarders have three points after four games, as many as Zrinjski. Aston Villa and Legia Warsaw are on nine points.

A simple calculation shows that AZ, with two games still to go, can reach a maximum of nine points. To achieve that, they must first win Zrinjski tonight.. That is 'just' step one of the European miracle. It is crucial for AZ that Legia Warsaw lose to Aston Villa. If that happens, AZ will have six points and Legia will remain at nine.

Then it gets interesting. That would mean that AZ can battle it out in the last group match in a heavily charged match with Legia. Because the Alkmaarders already won 1-0 against the Poles in October, a victory in Warsaw is enough for the next round.

If AZ does not win against Zrinjski on Thursday, the European adventure will be over anyway. Considering that AZ went through an incredible comeback by Zrinjski during the first round of the group, they will be much more concentrated today.

Let’s back AZ.

阿尔克马尔在欧协杯形势不容乐观。阿尔克马尔需要一个小小的奇迹才能晋级下一轮。

如果我们看一下E组的排名，只有一个结论：阿尔克马尔需要胡迪尼一样的魔法逃脱。阿尔克马尔在4场比赛后积3分，与兹林尼一样多。阿斯顿维拉和华沙莱吉亚同积 9 分。

简单计算一下，在还有两场比赛的情况下，阿尔克马尔最多可以拿到9分。要实现这一目标，他们必须首先在今晚赢得兹林尼。这只是欧洲奇迹的第一步。对阿尔克马尔而言，华沙莱吉亚输给阿斯顿维拉至关重要。如果这样的话，阿尔克马尔将积 6 分，而华沙莱吉亚仍积9分。

那么情况就变得有趣了。这意味着阿尔克马尔将在小组赛最后一场比赛中与莱吉亚展开激烈争夺。因为阿尔克马尔已经在 10 月份以 1-0 的比分战胜了波兰人，所以在华沙的胜利足以晋级下一轮。

如果阿尔克马尔周四不能战胜兹林尼，那么他们的欧洲之旅将就此结束。考虑到阿尔克马尔在小组赛首轮经历了兹林尼令人难以置信的逆转，他们今天会更加专注。

让我们支持阿尔克马尔。
