The performance of AZ Alkmaar so far this season in the Netherlands has been strong, as before the start of the round, the team is in second place in the temporary standings. However, they now face a tough home match against fifth-placed Twente. Earlier this week, AZ Alkmaar recorded their second consecutive victory in the Europa League, thrashing the team from Ararat. This success was welcome, considering that after a strong start in the Netherlands championship, where AZ won their first five matches, there was a slight decline and the team recorded only one victory in their next four matches.
Twente is also experiencing some difficulties in the leagueNevertheless, AZ will be at home again, although the opponent is not easy at all. Twente also comes after two victories in the Conference League, but lately, they have also faced some difficulties in the Netherlands championship. Last week, the team lost their clash against Utrecht, and before that, they could only manage a draw against Fortuna.
Prediction: Both teams to scoreStill, Twente looks like a serious enough team to score at least once, so I expect them to do so. In fact, the team has not failed to score in each of their last five matches against AZ Alkmaar. But AZ themselves also rarely miss the chance to score and I do not believe they will do so this time, especially when playing at home. Therefore, my prediction here will be for goals in both nets.
