Key Players to Watch: AZ Alkmaar vs Shelbourne

Troy Parrott (AZ Alkmaar): Fresh off the back of his heroics for Ireland, the former Spurs striker scored once again last weekend against Heerenveen. His goal in that league loss means that Parrott has scored six goals in his last three games, and 19 goals in all competitions this season. This includes seven Conference League strikes against Ilves, Vaduz, and Levski Sofia. Truly unstoppable.

Harry Wood (Shelbourne): The once Hull City academy prospect notched up 14 goal contributions in the league this season, as well as two strikes in the Conference League. Still only 23, the forward will be looking to potentially move back into the EFL, and performances in UEFA competitions is the best way to do so.
