AZ Alkmaar vs Heerenveen Prediction & Tips
The season is not yet over in the Netherlands! The play-offs for a place in the Conference League begin this Thursday evening with a duel at the AFAS Stadium between AZ Alkmaar and Heerenveen. AZ have a fairly logical advantage. The side coached by Maarten Martens finished fifth in the league, four places higher than their opponents. No worries for the red-and-whites, especially as they go into this fixture unbeaten in 360 minutes on Dutch soil. With three goals scored on three occasions in four games since the start of May, the Têtes de Fromage are ready to join Twente or Nijmegen in the ultimate duel!
The CHS are in a different state of form ahead of the start of hostilities. In the space of almost a month and a half, the red-and-blue outfit have racked up a balanced record: three wins and three defeats. In particular, they have just beaten Feyenoord 2-0, which could be described as a gift to their supporters. Henk Brugge’s men will need to keep up the form they showed against the country’s third-best team if they are to make an impact at the final whistle.
