ℹ️ Team News: AZ

We think that AZ look set to employ a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, utilising R. J. Owusu-Oduro, Elijah Dijkstra, Wouter Goes, Alexandre Penetra, Mees de Wit, Peer Koopmeiners, Jordy Clasie, Isak Jensen, Sven Mijnans, Ro-Zangelo Daal and Troy Parrott.

ℹ️ Team News: NAC Breda

NAC Breda boss Carl Hoefkens has not got a full squad to pick from. Boyd Lucassen (minor knock) and Leo Greiml (Shoulder injury) are not able to play. Mohamed Nassoh will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

There’s a good chance that De Parel van het Zuiden will likely elect for a 4-1-3-2 formation by sending out Daniel Bielica, Denis Odoi, Enes Mahmutovic, Rio Hillen, Boy Kemper, Max Balard, Cherrion Valerius, Kamal Sowah, Lewis Holtby, André Ayew and Moussa Soumano.

✨ Prediction

We’re thinking that AZ should be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

However, NAC Breda could well find it tough getting goals but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be pulling one back during this clash.

We’re predicting a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning margin for AZ at the conclusion of the game.
