AZ Alkmaar have an excellent opportunity to climb to fifth place in the standings with a win in their upcoming home match against Excelsior.

However, there has been some noticeable improvement in their performance lately, as the team is starting to create more chances and find a way to the net.
Prediction: Both Teams to ScoreAZ, on the other hand, are not in their most convincing period, as they have failed to secure a win in four of their last five league matches, including a loss to Zwolle a few days ago. These defensive uncertainties, combined with Excelsior's more liberated play, create conditions for both teams to find the net.
