AZ Forecast:
The home team is currently in 3rd position, with 49 points won, after 14 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they won at home against Feyenoord. In the last match, they lost in an away match against Vitesse. This is a team that tends to achieve more positive results away from home than at home, as they won 26 points away and 23 at home, with 32 goals scored and 20 suffered as away, against 25 goals scored and 17 suffered at home. In their last 10 home games for the championship, AZ Alkmaar won 7 and lost 3, for which they won 21 points out of 30 possible.
The home team has a definite objective, which is to remain in the qualification zone for the Europa League, but qualifying for the Champions League remains a possibility, albeit remote. The team fully relies on its offensive sector to win this match, as it averages two goals scored per home match. However, Twente have proven to be a very competitive team, knowing how to take advantage of the spaces and weaknesses of their rivals. It will be a game of a lot of mutual study, with patience to help his forwards.

The visiting team is currently in 8th position, with 36 points won, after 9 wins, 9 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Heracles. In the last match, they tied at home against Willem II. Curiously, this is a team that has achieved more positive results abroad than in their stadium, since they won 22 points as a visitor and only 14 in their stadium. In their last 10 away matches for the championship, FC Twente has recorded 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, for which they have won 18 points out of a possible 30.
Twente is a mostly strategic team, which does not make very interesting exhibitions, but has great tactical capacity, mainly defensive. This gives the team an advantage in playing away from home, because it knows how to take advantage of the opportune moments to counterattack. When an opportunity arises, he usually manages to score, despite his offensive play not being the priority. In this game it will be no different, especially by being aware of the quality of the opponent.
