Zwolle vs AZ Alkmaar Match Preview

Zwolle failed to continue their uptrend after the International break, losing 0-1 to Feynoord at home. However, it should be noted that both teams created a lot of opportunities and Zwolle could easily have scored at least one goal. After this result, Zwolle is slightly above of the play-out zone, having one point more than Venlo. Reijnen, Paal, van Polen, as well as midfielder Saymak, are unavailable tonight due to injuries.

Alkmaar had, at least on the paper, a very easy task in their previous home game against Venlo, however, they reached a narrow 1-0 win. Even so, after this outcome, Alkmaar completed a 5 win-streak, remaining in the second place of the Eredivisie standings and increasing their lead by 7 points from the third-placed Eindhoven. Centre-backs Hatzidiakos and Vlar are unavailable tonight.

Alkmaar are reasonably the favorites in tonight's game, however, their opponents fancy playing aggressively on their home ground Actually, they have scored at least two goals in their 5 most recent games they played at MAC³PARK Stadion, having won the half of them. BTTS is my call, the offered odds are quite decent at 1.70.
