Match background Enjoying the best European season in their history, Dundalk will hope to scale new heights by achieving a positive result against AZ Alkmaar in UEFA Europa League Group D. Previous meetings The clubs are meeting for the first time in UEFA competition. AZ's only previous encounters with Irish opposition came in a 1982/83 UEFA Cup first round tie against Limerick, the Dutch side edging through 2-1 on aggregate after a 1-0 second-leg success in Alkmaar. Dundalk's record in four matches against Eredivisie teams is W0 D1 L3. Those defeats include a 6-0 loss to PSV Eindhoven in the second leg of a 1976/77 European Cup first round tie. Form guide AZ are unbeaten in four European games this season (W3 D1). AZ have made it through five of their eight previous UEFA Cup and UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns. Dundalk are making their UEFA group stage debut. The only Irish side to have previously graced a UEFA Europa League group stage is Shamrock Rovers, who lost all six of their games in 2011/12. Dundalk are without a win in their last four European away matches (D2 L2), but broke a club record by making their way through three rounds of a UEFA competition for the first time this season. Links and trivia The journey from Dundalk to Alkmaar is around 750km. The coaches AZ coach John van den Brom spent the bulk of his playing career as a midfielder for Vitesse, and was capped twice for his country. As a coach, he won the Belgian title with Anderlecht in 2013, taking command in Alkmaar in 2014. Dundalk boss Stephen Kenny started his management career with Longford Town, aged 27, and won a league title with Bohemians in 2002/03, aged 32. Hired by Dundalk in 2013, he steered the club to Irish league titles in 2014 and 2015. 3
