Jong AZ

WLWDDL ⚖

After a loss in their previous game against Heracles Almelo in Eerste Divisie competition, Jong AZ and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

The numbers tell their own story, and Jong AZ have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 15 goals in total. In defence, Jong AZ have not been doing too well. That pattern might not be carried forward here, however.
