AZ Alkmaar travel to Finland for the Conference League qualification quarter-finals in fine form, having won four of their last five friendlies in pre-season.

The Dutch side bring attacking firepower and European pedigree as they face Ilves, who showed resilience with a 0-0 draw at home to Shakhtar Donetsk in the previous round after suffering a heavy first-leg defeat.

While Ilves will aim to keep things tight again, AZ’s momentum and quality make them clear favorites to take control of the tie.
