Heracles vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction & Tips
On 14 September, Heracles Almelo will host AZ Alkmaar in the fifth round of the VriendenLoterij Eredivisie season at its own Erve Asito stadium in a match between two teams that have had completely different starts to the season.
After the first month of the season, Heracles Almelo is at the bottom of the table with zero points from four matches, having suffered several heavy defeats against teams such as FC Utrecht and FC Groningen.
AZ Alkmaar, on the other hand, is in a strong position and is still undefeated this season, with the team in sixth place after three matches. In this match, the visiting team will be keen to continue its unbeaten run in order to climb further up the table.
The contrast between these two teams could hardly be greater. AZ is eyeing a chance to remain in the race for the national title this season, while Heracles is already fighting early on to avoid being a major relegation candidate.
