AZ vs NAC Breda Live Stream, Predictions (Apr 24)

📏 Form Guide

AZ

LDDDLL ⚠

AZ won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 1-0 Eredivisie losing effort in their last game against Heracles Almelo.

In that match, AZ managed 49% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target. At the other end, Heracles Almelo had 7 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Jizz Hornkamp (47') scored for Heracles Almelo.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games where AZ haven’t conceded. The reality is that AZ have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 12 goals during that time. That trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, though.

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.
