AZ Alkmaar vs Den Haag Prediction & Betting tips
AZ Alkmaar :
Coach John van den Brom do not want to play the defensive as their opponents simply have more quality. The setting often produces spectacular races and often Alkmaar also have the idea that they were well in the game, but that institution also comes with a price. AZ just get on charts too many goals against and it is difficult to achieve a result. The new calendar is there again a few good examples: PSV at home (2-4) and Olympique Lyon at home (1-4). Last week was AZ 5-2 on the pants of Feyenoord. Afterwards was the reaction of the coach exemplary. Van den Brom: “Sometimes you feel like you’ve played nice. That goes for this afternoon, but you lose it 5-2. ”
Van den Brom stressed that good play possession was good, but five goals conceded too much of a good thing. “In possession we have done many good things, but we have not done well and become quite easy goals against accumulated in possession of the opponent. I’ve seen nice things, but you should not be blind to the fact that we get back five goals today against. “AZ has therefore not kept a clean sheet in the last fifteen league games. Van den Brom hoped the return of Ron Vlaar defensive for what would provide more stability, but that’s not the case, because at home against Excelsior AZ showed many defensive stabbing attack.
Friday put Van den Brom Vlaar back on the bench, as Rens van Eijden returns from suspension. “I think Rens has done this season. And Ron is on the way back. He’s still not where we want; and he finds himself, “the coach explained. Furthermore, he does not tinker much in order to build fortresses. However Dabney dos Santos is preferred over Levi Garcia. AZ needs a victory, but that alone is not enough. Van den Brom: “It is also about me the way. We have a convincing manner requires a result. ”

Den Haag :
Fons Groenendijk has his first victory inside, thus ADO Den Haag wore the red lantern over at Go Ahead Eagles. The neutral supporter will have furrowed his brow after the NEC could have lost the encounter with ADO. Misses at Nijmegen side of good saves from Robert Zwinkels held ADO in the first half to tie the score. The second half was better for the club from The Hague. Substitute Mike Havenaar caused by a headbutt, his trademark, for three important points, because NEC in the final stage was missing a big opportunity.
Groenendijk not see it at all as an advantage that AZ was out of shape. “They’re coming this time not from a European competition, have a fit group and are keen on revenge,” argued the coach, who places great emphasis on a club like ADO shall make war. “When you see how Donny Gorter coming here, going, fighting, that’s a pit bull. That’s why he plays, “continued the coach. “I notice that everyone is fit to be, then you have to deal with another phenomenon, namely people disappoint. I said that everyone should put it aside; We need everyone. ”
ADO could not have Tom Beugelsdijk the next two matches. The defender was suspended by the Appeals Board for a sliding movement in the home match against Twente. Groenendijk proposes therefore back on Thomas Meissner. The expectation was that Groenendijk immediately Guyon Fernandez would sacrifice for match winner Havenaar, but the coach does not. “Mike will still play a good role. We also have a plan with him. We’ll see if it comes into force, but I am not dissatisfied with Fernandez, “Groenendijk remained vague.
Probable lineup ADO Den Haag
Zwinkels; Ebuehi, Meissner cannon Meijers; Malone, Bakker, Gorter; Chess, Fernandez, Duplan
