Breda
AZ Alkmaar will try to recover from a heart-breaking loss to Go Ahead Eagles in the Dutch Cup final when they face Breda in a postponed Eredivisie game. The Cheese Farmers are now on a seven-game winless run in all competitions, but they are seen as favourites to win Thursday’s encounter. Defender David Moller Wolfe is back from suspension, while important forward Troy Parrott is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the KNVB Beker final.
Carl Hoefkens’ men, on the other hand, are safe for now, with the team sitting in 15th place in the standings, seven points clear of the relegation zone. Given Breda’s difficulties on the road, AZ Alkmaar will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. To make things even worse for the away team, defender Jan Van den Bergh is banned for the visiting team.
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.
