NEC Nijmegen
Marcel Stutter and Rens van Eijden will miss the visit of AZ. Nonetheless, Anton Janssen is expected to continue with his tried and tested.
AZ Alkmaar
Nick Viergever and Nemanja Gudelj are both suspended after picking up red cards in AZ’s draw against Roda JC last weekend. With Donny Gorter still out injured it could mean a first league start for Ridgeciano Haps at left-back. Viktor Elm could start in place of the absent Gudelj.
Match Facts
There have been over 2. 5 goals scored in NEC Nijmegen’s last 9 home games in Eredivisie. NEC Nijmegen have failed to win 23 of their last 24 matches in Eredivisie. NEC Nijmegen have conceded at least 2 goals in 8 of their last 9 home matches in Eredivisie. AZ Alkmaar have scored at least 2 goals in their last 5 matches in Eredivisie. AZ Alkmaar are undefeated in their last 5 matches in Eredivisie.
Prediction
AZ missed the opportunity to move to the top of the Eredivisie last weekend. They will nonetheless travel to NEC knowing 15 points separate both clubs. However, their form on the road has been mixed: one win in their last five games away from home. But if there’s a place where they could amend that, it is the Goffertstadion. NEC have only avoided defeat in four of their last thirteen home games, but their only win was against a buoyant Heerenveen, so AZ must be wary of succumbing to defeat.
NEC Nijmegen 1 - 3 AZ Alkmaar
