AZ Preview – Can AZ draw level with Ajax?
Friday night’s hosts, AZ Alkmaar, look to be in a commanding position ahead of this upcoming clash against basement dwellers Waalwijk as they’ve won 14 of their total of 20 matches played to date in this season’s Eredivisie, with only league leaders, Ajax, bettering this winning record so far this term.
Although AZ suffered recent back-to-back defeats to Sparta Rotterdam and Willem II, the hosts quickly bounced back with a 2-1 win away from home at Heerenveen last weekend and they now return to their AFAS Stadion for this Friday night encounter with a solid home record of 7-1-2 22/8 under their belts.
AZ possess the third best defensive record at home in the Dutch top flight too, and having won 4 of their last 5 matches on home turf with wins over Twente, Emmen, VVV and most impressive of all, Ajax, the hosts will be confident they can grab the points here.
In addition, AZ have won the last 3 encounters on the trot against Waalwijk.
Waalwijk Preview – Can Waalwijk avoid heavy defeat?
Waalwijk’s current situation doesn’t look good for the visitors as they prepare for this extremely tough trip to face an in-form AZ side who are gunning for the Dutch top flight title, especially as Waalwijk have lost 4 of their last 5 matches overall in the Eredivisie.
A 3-0 home win against Twente has been overshadowed by defeats to Heerenveen, Fortuna Sittard, Den Haag and VVV and this recent losing slump has only resulted in Waalwijk remaining bottom of the Dutch top flight and a significant 8 points adrift of safety.
Therefore, a trip to high-flying AZ on Friday night is probably not on Waalwijk’s immediate ‘to do’ list and with a woeful away record of 1-1-8 12/29 under their belts so far this season, there looks to be only one outcome here this evening.
To make matters worse, Waalwijk have lost 7 of their last 8 away matches in the Eredivisie and they look powerless to avoid another defeat in this clash.
