Can AZ Alkmaar keep control of the group?
AZ are top of the group and they should be looking to extend their lead with a victory over Cluj, who are not to be written off despite their slow start.
AZ started the season in poor form but it seems they have found their mojo in recent weeks and they were excellent in the win over Utrecht at the weekend. If they can produce that performance again then they can come away from Romania with a big victory.
