Prediction: 2-2
AZ
Twente and AZ Alkmaar square off against each other at De Grolsh Veste in what is expected to be an entertaining Eredivisie game. Twente are eyeing their third consecutive league win, and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach. All Cerny, Lukoki, and Pierie are out of contention with injuries for the hosts, while experienced attacker Rickie van Wolfswinkel is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts.
AZ, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Heracles, and given their attacking potential, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. Midfielder Jordy Clasie is banned for the match after he was sent off in the last league match, but he should be the only absentee in the away team. In their last meeting in the Dutch top flight AZ Alkmaar outplayed Twente 4-1.
