Breda
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 0-3
AZ
Sunday’s football game between NAC Breda and AZ Alkmaar will bring down the curtain on the Eredivisie round 4. Breda aim to recover from a 3-0 loss to NEC Nijmegen, but they will have a mountain to climb against the Cheese Farmers. Both Charles-Andreas Brym and Terence Kongolo remain in the treatment room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
AZ, on the other hand, rolled over Groningen 4-1 in the opening match of the season, while sharing the spoils with Volendam in round 2. The visitors were not in action in the national championship at the weekend, meaning that they will be fully fit to face Breda on Sunday afternoon. AZ Alkmaar have defeated Breda in each of their last four meetings at Rat Verlegh Stadion and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. A man to watch in the away team will be striker Troy Parrott, who has been scoring goals for fun of late.
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.
