Team News
AZ faces Ajax at the weekend, so Jansen needs to decide whether he rests some players with there being little to play for on Thursday evening.
There are no fresh injuries for Jansen, who could bring Sam Beukema into the starting line-up.
Possible AZ line-up: Vindahl, Sugawara, Wijndal, Hatzidiakos, Beukema, Reijnders, Clasie, De Wit, Aboukhlal, Gudmundsson, Pavlidis
Stephen Odey is suspended for Randers, while Simon Graves and Joel Kabongo are doubts. Former Groningen midfielder Simon Tibbling should feature from the start.

Odds
AZ 6/5 Draw 27/10 Randers 21/10
A positive group for AZ comes to an end
It has been a professional job by AZ Alkmaar who have been by far the superior team in the group and they can round it off with another victory on Thursday.
Jansen can give some young players a chance to excel and prove themselves, but Randers are a side to be wary off, especially as they are still fighting for second spot.
It will be a close game but AZ could add some more points to the Dutch coefficient with a victory.
