Prediction: 1-1
AZ
All eyes will be on Philips Stadion when PSV and AZ Alkmaar take on each other in the Eredivisie round 21. PSV aim to make amends for a heart-breaking loss to Ajax, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. Midfielder Ibrahim Sangare is back from international duty, while all Romero, Silva, and Sambo should miss out with injuries.
Ritsu Doan is a major doubt after he represented Japan in the World Cup qualifiers. AZ Alkmaar, on the other hand, aim to overtake Twente in 4th place in the standings. Pascal Jansen’s troops are undefeated in the previous nine league fixtures, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on draw. The good news for the visiting side is that talented forward Zakaria Aboukhlal is back from international duty.
Highlighted Player (Mario Gotze):
Mario Gotze is a German midfielder, who played for Ronsberg and Eintrach Hombruch during his youth career before joining Borussia Dortmund in 2001. He made a great progress during his spell at the Borussia Dortmund’s youth academy and on 21 November, 2009 he made his Bundesliga debut for the Millionaires.
Gotze scored 22 goals in 83 league appearances for the club between 2009 and 2013 and he joined Borussia Dortmund’s bitterest rivals Bayern Munich on April, 2013. The German midfielder, who is capable of playing as a striker as well, failed to impress in the 2015/2016 Bundesliga campaign, but it has to be noted that he was struggling with injury at the start of the season.
Gotze won three Bundesliga trophies with Bayern Munich, but at the end of the 2015/2016 season he returned to Borussia Dortmund. In 2014 he represented Germany at the FIFA World Cup in Brazil and he scored the winner in the final against Argentina. Mario Gotze was born in Memmingen on 3 June, 1992.
