AZ
DLLDDW
AZ will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 0-3 Eredivisie victory over Go Ahead Eagles.
It has been a rare occasion in recent times that AZ have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that AZ have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 6 goals on the way. It will be interesting to find out if that trend will be sustained in this game.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that AZ:
- have not been beaten in the league by FC Groningen in their previous 4 matches.
- are without a home win in the past 3 matches in the league.
FC Groningen
DLLLWW 🌤
FC Groningen will go into the meeting after a 6-1 Eredivisie win as they beat RKC Waalwijk in their previous match.
Looking at their form, and FC Groningen have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 13 goals in all. In defence, FC Groningen have clearly had some problems.
A look at their previous results shows us that FC Groningen:
- have not won against AZ in away games against them for the last 2 league matches.
- have not won away from home in their last 3 league games.
↔️ Head to head
A glance at their prior head to head clashes going back to 24/10/2021 shows that AZ have won 4 of these and FC Groningen 1, with the number of draws being 1.
A total of 13 goals were shared by the two clubs in these games, with 9 of them from AZ and 4 coming from Trots van het Noorden. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.17.
📰 Team News: AZ
It’s our opinion that AZ will possibly kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, utilising Rome Owusu-Oduro, Denso Kasius, Maxim Dekker, Alexandre Penetra, David Moeller Wolfe, Kees Smit, Peer Koopmeiners, Ernest Poku, Sven Mijnans, Ruben van Bommel and Mexx Meerdink.
📰 Team News: FC Groningen
FC Groningen boss Dick Lukkien has some current player fitness concerns. Mats Seuntjens (unknown injury), Fofin Turay (Achilles tendon problems) and Maxim Mariani (Knock) can’t be considered.
It’s our belief that Trots van het Noorden appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Etienne Vaessen, Marco Rente, Hjalmar Ekdal, Thijmen Blokzijl, Marvin Peersman, Leandro Bacuna, Stije Resink, Jorg Schreuders, Luciano Valente, Dave Kwakman and Thom van Bergen.
💭 Prediction
It looks to us that AZ certainly have the ability to get the win and a possible clean sheet when they play FC Groningen, who may well struggle scoring a goal of their own.
We reckon that it will be a pretty comfortable 2-0 winning margin for AZ come full-time.
