📏 Form Guide

AZ
DDDLLD ⚠
AZ prepare for this game following a 1-1 KNVB Beker stalemate versus Go Ahead Eagles.
The only scorer from AZ was Troy Parrott (54'). Mats Deijl (90') scored for Go Ahead Eagles. The match went to penalties and was won 2-4 by Go Ahead Eagles.
It has been all too rare in recent games where AZ have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that AZ have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 10 goals during that time. With no two games being the same, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend will continue on in this upcoming game or not.
Pre-game facts show that AZ:
- haven't been beaten in the league by NAC Breda in their last 8 games. Quite a long unbeaten run against them.
- are without a home win in the past 2 league games.

🗞️ Team News: AZ
It’s our opinion that AZ may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Rome Owusu-Oduro, Seiya Maikuma, Wouter Goes, Bruno Martins Indi, David Moeller Wolfe, Kees Smit, Peer Koopmeiners, Ernest Poku, Sven Mijnans, Ruben van Bommel and Troy Parrott.
📰 Team News: NAC Breda
We believe De Parel van het Zuiden seem most likely to elect for a 3-2-4-1 system with a starting lineup of Daniel Bielica, Cherrion Valerius, Enes Mahmutovic, Leo Greiml, Maxime Busi, Boy Kemper, Kamal Sowah, Maximilien Balard, Clint Leemans, Leo Sauer and Elias Mar Omarsson.
🔮 Prediction
It looks to us that AZ look likely to score more than once when they face NAC Breda, who may well struggle scoring a goal of their own.
We’re tipping a pretty comfortable 2-0 win for AZ after 90 minutes.
