AZ will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following a 2-3 Eredivisie triumph vs FC Twente.
In that game, AZ had 49% possession and 16 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. For AZ, goals were scored by Ruben van Bommel (3'), Sven Mijnans (45') and Denso Kasius (71'). FC Twente got 19 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. Ricky van Wolfswinkel (13') and Michel Vlap (23') scored for FC Twente.

Coming into this meeting, AZ haven't been defeated in their previous 2 home league matches.
Almere City
DLLDLD 📉
Last time out, Almere City drew 1-1 in the Eredivisie tie with Fortuna Sittard.
In that match, Almere City managed 52% possession and 12 shots on goal with 5 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Almere City was Junior Kadile (14'). On the other side, Fortuna Sittard had 10 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. Bojan Radulović (79') scored for Fortuna Sittard.
It has become apparent that Almere City have had real problems scoring goals over their last six encounters, netting the unsatisfactory return of just 4. In those matches, De Zwarte Schapen have also seen the overall goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 13. Such a pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this next game, though.
Ahead of this meeting, Almere City are without an away win for the past 2 league matches.
↔️ Head to head
The previous league game between these sides was Eredivisie match day 1 on 10/08/2024 which ended up with the score at Almere City 0-1 AZ.
In that match, Almere City had 44% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target.
At the other end, AZ got 9 shots on goal with 4 on target. Ibrahim Sadiq (4') was the scorer.
The referee was Martin van den Kerkhof.
🗞️ Team News: AZ
It’s our opinion that AZ should employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, handing starts to Rome Owusu-Oduro, Seiya Maikuma, Wouter Goes, Alexandre Penetra, David Moeller Wolfe, Peer Koopmeiners, Kees Smit, Ernest Poku, Sven Mijnans, Ruben van Bommel and Mexx Meerdink.
📰 Team News: Almere City
Almere City boss Jeroen Rijsdijk has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Àlex Carbonell (Hamstring injury) and Jochem Ritmeester van de Kamp (minor knock) will miss out on this game.
It’s our belief that De Zwarte Schapen seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup by sending out Nordin Bakker, Marvin Martins, Ricardo Visus, James Lawrence, Vasilios Zagaritis, Thom Haye, Anas Tahiri, Junior Kadile, Thomas Robinet, Ali Jasim and Charles-Andreas Brym.
🔮 Prediction
In our view, AZ have it within them to dominate possession and create several successful chances.
However, Almere City may well struggle to score a goal of their own but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be hitting back at some stage here, too.
Our tip is for a fairly comfortable 3-1 win for AZ at the end of this one.
