Prediction: 1-2
AZ
Sunday’s football game between Breda and AZ Alkmaar will bring down the curtain on the Eredivisie round 16. Breda aim to build on back-to-back wins over Almere City and Sparta Rotterdam and you should know that they are eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet in the national championship. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Carl Hoefkens is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Sparta at the weekend.
AZ Alkmaar, on the other hand, did well to beat Ajax in their last league match and they are seen as favourites to pick up all three points from Sunday’s encounter as well. Talented midfielder Kees Smit is back from the Europa League ban, while all Belic, Westerveld, and Zeefuik should miss out with injuries for the visiting team. Anyhow, AZ are more of a team than Breda and we predict that the visitors are going to showcase their worth on the field.
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.
