ℹ️ Team News: AZ

It’s our opinion that AZ could make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for this game, handing starts to Mathew Ryan, Yukinari Sugawara, Riechedly Bazoer, Alexandre Penetra, David Moeller Wolfe, Sven Mijnans, Jordy Clasie, Ernest Poku, Dani de Wit, Myron van Brederode and Evangelos Pavlidis.

📋 Team News: Sparta Rotterdam

From a largely healthy squad, there is only the lone fitness worry for the Sparta Rotterdam boss Jeroen Rijsdijk to be concerned about. Mike Eerdhuijzen (Groin Injury) won’t be playing here.

It’s our belief that Kasteelheren appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation, giving starts to Nick Olij, Said Bakari, Bart Vriends, Tijs Velthuis, Django Warmerdam, Joshua Kitolano, Jonathan de Guzman, Camiel Neghli, Arno Verschueren, Koki Saito and Tobias Lauritsen.

✨ Prediction

In our opinion, AZ will probably dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

At the other end, Sparta Rotterdam won’t find it easy to score themselves although we do think it’s probable that they will be scoring here.

We’re therefore expecting to see a fairly comfortable 3-1 win for AZ at full-time.
