Prediction: 1-1
AZ
Asito Stadium will host Sunday’s football game between Heracles and AZ Alkmaar, the two top-table sides. Heracles are eyeing a spot in the Conference League playoffs and a win over AZ could see them climb to top eight in the standings. Forward Mario Engels is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the trip to Almelo.
The Cheese Farmers, on the other hand, have suffered a dip in form, with the team failing to win the previous five league matches. As both AZ Alkmaar and Heracles are eager to return to winning ways in the national championship, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. It has to be noted that AZ defender David Moller Wolfe serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
Highlighted Team (AZ):
AZ Alkmaar are a professional football club that play their home matches at AFAS Stadion. The venue was opened on 4 August, 2006 and the construction of the stadium cost €38 million. AFAS Stadion is able to hold 17 023 spectators.
The Cheeseheads were founded on 10 May, 1967 and they won their first trophy in 1981, finishing the season 12 points clear of Dutch giants Ajax. 18 years later AZ clinched their second Eredivisie trophy, with the team finishing the 2008/2009 campaign with 80 points, 11 clear of second-placed Twente. In 1981 the club made it to the UEFA Cup final, but English side Ipswich Town proved to be a big catch for the Dutch team.
AZ’s home kits are red and white and they wear black shirts when playing on the road. The likes of Shota Arveladze, Jozy Altidore, Ron Vlaar, Joris Mathijsen, Graziano Pelle, Simon Poulsen, Moussa Dembele and Sergio Romero are notable footballers who played for AZ in the past.
