Prediction: 3-0
Nijmegen
AZ Alkmaar will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Cambuur when they take on NEC in a postponed Eredivisie game. AZ look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their seventh consecutive win in all competitions, and they must be high on spirits ahead of the visit of NEC. Despite failing to find the net in the last league match, Greece forward Vangelis Pavlidis should continue to lead the line for the hosts.
Rogier Meijer’s troops head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Groningen. Talented forward Ibrahim Cissoko (19) is pushing for a start, while both Magnus Mattsson and Mathias De Wolf are major doubts. In their last encounter in the Dutch top flight AZ Alkmaar defeated NEC 3-1, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the home side.
