AZ Alkmaar – Ajax Amsterdam – It’s becoming more interesting in the Dutch Football Championship, and this is a coach derby between teams having the same number of points and are in the second and third positions. Ajax has a much better goal difference and they are the others, but AZ Alkmaar has a longer positive line and are really in great shape. And all the more interesting because these two teams took PSV to only five points behind and the battle for the title is again open. Last season’s duel of these rivals ended with a score of 2: 2, while in Amsterdam there was 4: 1 for Ajax.
AZ Alkmaar
Somewhat unexpectedly, AZ Alkmaar pushed himself into the top of the table and had the chance to leave for the winter break even from another position. Everything depends on this and in what form they do not have to be afraid of Ajax. They had a good start to the season and then a shorter crunch when they did not win three wins, and then started a brilliant string in which they had seven wins, and only in the last round at Zwole’s side they had to meet the blade.
At the beginning of October they were defeated for the last time and this was exactly on the domestic pitch when they declared it Feyenoord with 4: 0. It could not even be assumed that such a long, positive series would follow. The last four triumphs in the series were scored without a noticeable throat, but this season of the good Zwole could not be a triumph. As far as the composition is concerned, out of the machine are the most important players Vlaar and the headmaster Vejinovic.
Ajax Amsterdam
Before only two wagers, the situation for Ajax was much worse and the first place they always targeted was far behind. And then in the big derby they declared the PSV with 3: 0 on their field, so that during the week the rival from Eindhoven made another kick and Ajax had halved the ten-point gap with a new win so that they can now really hope for the champion title. They are also sorry for the two-day visit at Twente when they have easily dropped two goals of the goal and have only remedied.
There was no goal against the PSV after half an hour, and then in the next ten they made three and thus solved all the dilemmas. Against the Excelsior in the last round it was not easy too, but again in the last half an hour they settled for the final 3: 1. Schone has missed the duel against Excelsior because of the card, but he is now back, while left-wing Veltman will miss the cardboard and left wing Wober for injury, and there is no Viergever, Younes and Sinkgraven.
AZ Alkmaar – Ajax Amsterdam TIP
Both teams play well and they are leveling the tables, but it is known that both teams love attacking football and in their mutual duels, regular goals have fallen off regularly, so we expect something similar now.
