G.A. Eagles vs Jong AZ Prediction & Betting tips
In the 33rd game round of the Kitchen Champion Division, Young AZ may visit Go Ahead Eagles. In the Adelaarshorst the home team will try to recover from the defeat in the away game, but the club from Deventer is not doing well against the low flyers. Young AZ has gained confidence after the humiliation of NEC in-house. Who will win this competition?
Go Ahead Eagles:
The team from Deventer is no longer competing for the title. The gap with FC Twente is now fifteen points and after a loss earlier this week the gap with number 2 Sparta is seven points. The team owes this to the volatility. The play-offs can hardly miss Go Ahead Eagles, but if the club wants to enforce promotion, it will have to make quick steps. Defensively, it has not been good enough in recent weeks. The trainer John Stegeman calls it “fiddling” and this is only logical. If you want to enforce promotion then you will have to keep the zero against low flyers or at least win. This did not happen in recent weeks. Against Jong FC Utrecht (20) and FC Dordrecht (19), it collected goals, but Go Ahead Eagles did win. Against Helmond Sport (18) and Telstar (16) these goals hit the team last week. The program seemed easy, but now it will have to face Young AZ (17) and then the question is whether the Eagles will make it unnecessarily difficult for themselves.
Go Ahead Eagles went to play in the Adelaarshorst against Telstar last Monday. Even before the first minute of the game, the Eagles were behind. The lead for Telstar did not last long, as Jaroslav Navratil scored the tying goal after ten minutes. Go Ahead Eagles was strong in the first half in-house and had several chances, but the Stegeman team still came to rest 1-1. After the break, Telstar was given opportunities and this even led to the 1-2. Telstar, on the other hand, was unable to hold onto the lead and was awarded a penalty. Thomas Verheydt flawlessly scored the penalty. Then the audience in Deventer went behind it, but Telstar made the winning goal in the last minute. According to all media, this 2-3 final score was a surprising defeat and a stunt, but if you had read the preview on VW then of course you already knew that this race would not be easily won.
Young AZ:
The AZ youth team rarely wins, but is still ahead of Helmond Sport and Jong FC Utrecht in the rankings. This is due to all the matches that Michel Vonk has closed with his team as a draw. It only won five games this season, but played eleven times. Many teams from the right row did not get further than a draw against Jong AZ. In addition to Helmond Sport, Young FC Utrecht and Cambuur, the home game against Go Ahead Eagles was also won. That was a great achievement, but last Monday the competition of the season probably took place for the Alkmaarders.
For example, the difficult home game against NEC was on the program. Nobody assumed a good result in Alkmaar, certainly because a ticket for the play-offs was at stake for the people of Nijmegen. It was therefore not good that NEC had a tough offday. Shortly before half-time the promises from AZ took the lead and after a blunder from the NEC goalkeeper three minutes later, it was suddenly 2-0 for Young AZ. Even after the break, the people of Nijmegen didn’t bother at all and it was 4-0. Was NEC so bad or Young AZ so good? The answer to this is clearly both. A painful defeat for NEC that makes it unnecessarily difficult for itself against a promise team where nothing is at stake anymore.
