Heracles vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction & Betting tips
AZ Alkmaar travels to Almelo for this round, where Heracles will be the opponent of the Alkmaarders on Sunday. What are the two teams serving us?
Heracles:
Last week, Heracles also played against one of the top teams in the competition. The always tough away match against Ajax was on the program for the Almelo players. The belief in a good result was completely absent at Heracles from the first whistle. They actually didn’t create anything at all. In fact Ajax could win 5-0 at half strength. Heracles is at eight points after nine games, at the bottom of the middle bracket.
So now the confrontation with AZ awaits. “Last season they played for the title, and this season they also play good football,” Heracles coach Frank Wormuth said. “It will be a great challenge for our team.” That is a nice, positive way to look at things, although the German trainer himself will also know that his team will have to reach a much higher level on Sunday than last weekend in Amsterdam. Silverster van der Water – one of the better players – has to watch on Sunday due to an injury.
AZ:
AZ Alkmaar is in the middle of a busy schedule these weeks, with the six Europa League group matches that have to be played in addition to the matches in the Eredivisie. The fourth of that series of games ended on Thursday with a draw. AZ came out well, in the home game against the strong Real Sociedad, but in the completion it lacked precision and fortune, which meant that AZ had to settle for a draw (0-0). The team is still in the race for a ticket for the sixteenth finals
In their own country, Arne Slot’s team has found the right track, after a bad start, in recent weeks. Last weekend, the final victory over FC Emmen was a minimal, but the 1-0 victory was deserved. It was the third win in a row for the North Hollanders, who are making a steady rise in the rankings. Slot is not a big supporter of the rotation model, but Myron Boadu may get a chance in the starting line-up on Sunday after he was used as a substitute in the past duels.
