AZ ALKMAAR v TWENTE
Friday 24th November 2017 – Kickoff: 2000hrs
Football – Netherlands – Eredivisie Betting Tips
AZ Alkmaar could move up into second place in the Dutch top flight on Friday night if they manage to take all three points against struggling FC Twente at their AFAS Stadion, and in turn get a jump on Ajax.
With PSV holding an eight point lead at the top of the Eredivisie, it looks like being a straight shoot-out for second spot with Ajax for a Champions League qualifier spot, and whike there’s a long way to go yet, AZ will be confident that they can grab the spoils over Twente tonight. The hosts have won their last four matches on the trot and are unbeaten in their last five overall.
AZ hold a 4-0-2 10/9 record on home turf, and recent back-to-back wins over Utrecht and Willem II should give them plenty of confidence to continue this winning run this evening. Striker Weghorst (7 goals) is the main goal threat up front for the hosts.
Visitors Twente occupy one of the relegation play-off spots ahead of their trip to Alkmaar on Friday night, having suffered four defeats from their last five matches overall in the Dutch top flight; losses to Willem II, Excelsior, PSV and Heerenveen have seen them plummet into the relegation zone, and their poor form away from home looks set to continue this evening.
Twente possess a woeful away record of 0-0-6 5/13 so far this season, but they’ve actually lost their last nine on the trot on their travels, and indeed, have captured just two wins on the road from their last 18.
Twente’s last visit to AZ finished in a 2-1 defeat back in April and we could see another defeat for the visitors here.
