AZ Alkmaar vs. Celtic FC

This is a high total for this Europa League game, and AZ Alkmaar is all about controlling the pace. Six of their last eight have gone UNDER 3 goals, and they are coming off of losses of 1-0 to RKC Waalwijk and 2-0 to this Celtic squad. Also, none of their last nine games have gone OVER 3 goals. AZ Alkmaar has homefield where the defense has allowed just two goals in 10 games, while seven of their last nine Europa League matches have sailed UNDER 3 goals. Celtic FC has shutout four of its last five opponents. The offense is explosive at home, but they've tallied just 13 goals in their last 12 road games. Neither team is at full strength, and I expect both squads to put an emphasis on defense. Back the UNDER in this one.
