AZ Alkmaar vs Twente Prediction & Betting Tips - Eredivisie
by Thobelani Moyo in Eredivisie Predictions
AFAS Stadion will witness AZ Alkmaar and FC Twente battle it out for crucial three points in the 17th round of the Eredivisie on Saturday. AZ Alkmaar occupies sixth place in the league standings, while FC Twente is fifth. Here's our match prediction.
AZ Alkmaar continued their relentless search for a cup win in over a decade with a decisive 3-1 home win against Groningen in the second round of the KNVB Beker.
Before this, they secured a narrow 2-1 away victory against NAC Breda in the Eredivisie, but it has to be said that their performance was far from convincing for a side that controlled 65% of ball possession.
The Cheese Farmers head into this clash with heightened confidence, avoiding defeat in their last seven matches across all competitions (W5, D2).
FC Twente is among the teams that were involved in the KNVB Beker clashes during the week. They, too, can proudly wear their laurels after defeating third-tier VW Katwijk in a thrilling 3-2 victory on the road.
The Tukkers now return to Eredivisie action after a convincing 2-0 home win against Groningen, bouncing back from their goalless draw against Greek opposition Olympiacos on the last matchday of the UEFA Europa League.
Despite their humiliating defeat against PSV Eindhoven, they have maintained a consistent form in the league with five wins and two draws in their last eight games.
