Jong AZ vs Graafschap Prediction & Betting tips
On Monday evening, De Graafschap awaits an away game in Alkmaar against the AZ team. The Doetinchemmers have started the season strongly, will they succeed on Monday to become a fellow leader in the Kitchen Champion Division?
Young AZ Alkmaar:
AZ’s main force was eliminated in the preliminary round of the Champions League earlier this week. It is good for the Alkmaarders that they will at least still be active in the Europa League from a European perspective, because this way young talents, perhaps also emerging talents from the U21 team, can make flying hours here. The Alkmaarders have not started the new season of the Kitchen Champion Division very well, but more than one place in the right-hand row shouldn’t be expected either.
Last weekend, Jong AZ booked the first league victory of the season. He was also more than welcome after big defeats against NAC Breda (6-1) and Jong PSV (4-1). The promise team was too strong for Jong FC Utrecht in the Dom City with 1-2. Mohammed Taabouni eventually turned out to be a match winner, as the midfielder was good for a goal and an assist.
De Graafschap:
Prior to the new season of the Kitchen Champion Division, SC Cambuur and De Graafschap were seen as the big favorites for the championship, but the Leeuwarden title contender has already made two slips during the season start. As a competitor, De Superboeren hope to benefit from this on Sunday. De Graafschap did stay clear in the first weeks by booking two convincing victories against Roda JC and FC Den Bosch.
Elmo Lieftink was the big one against Roda JC with two goals. The midfielder came over from Go Ahead Eagles this summer and thus also asserted himself as a defensive midfielder against the Limburg opponent from an attacking point of view. First he hit from thirty meters and later with a nice volley from the sixteen meter line. After half time, Daryl van Mieghem and Ralf Seuntjes managed to raise the score even further.
