Head-to-head statistics AZ Alkmaar - Zwolle
AZ Alkmaar Team Overview
AZ Alkmaar are in impressive form, with three wins and two draws in their last five Eredivisie matches, positioning them as strong contenders for the top spots in the table. The "Cheese Farmers" were on a four-game winning streak until they shared the spoils with Feyenoord last week in a thrilling 3-3 shootout. They managed to salvage a draw in the 98th minute when Mexx Meerdink converted a penalty. On average, Maarten Martens' side scores 2.4 goals per game but concedes 1.4, indicating that their defense is not flawless. Nonetheless, for the Dutch league, these are quite commendable numbers.
Match Results: AZ Alkmaar
PEC Zwolle Team Overview
Zwolle are struggling, as evidenced by three consecutive defeats. Currently sitting in 13th place on the league table, they are in dire need of points to improve their standing and bolster their chances of staying in the league. This comes after they kicked off the season with two clean-sheet victories. The most concerning aspect is that Henry van der Vegt's side have simply stopped scoring-netting just one goal while conceding seven in their last three outings. In their previous match against Go Ahead Eagles (0-2), the "Blue and Whites" were reduced to ten men as early as the second minute and unsurprisingly succumbed, despite the scoreboard remaining goalless until ten minutes from full time.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
AZ Alkmaar are on the rise, but they consistently concede goals, even in home matches. Zwolle struggle with scoring, yet they managed to find the net against Ajax on the road, so they have a fair chance of scoring here as well. This is especially true considering their head-to-head history, where the bet on both teams to score (yes) has come through in 6 of the last 8 encounters. We recommend this as the main bet, anticipating a 2-1 victory for the hosts.No comments
