AZ Alkmaar vs Vitesse prediction: NETHERLANDS: Eredivisie betting tips on match 2024-03-29 20:00.
[p]AZ Alkmaar is performing well again under new head coach Maarten Martens with four victories from their last five Eredivisie matches, including emphatic 4-0 wins prior to the international break.[/p]
[p]The AZ fans, who had to make do without their team’s matches in recent weeks, were able to partly compensate for this absence by seeing some of their favourites represent the Dutch U21 national team. With Wouter Goes and the attackers Ruben van Bommel, Myron van Brederode and Ernest Poku, the vanguard of the next generation had a particularly Alkmaar flavour to it. [/p]
[p]The chance that AZ will give away its spot in the top four now looks increasingly unlikely, and after the recent defeat of number three FC Twente, moving up the table has become a bit more realistic. The difference between the two teams is now four points, and they will next meet in Alkmaar in May. AZ will enter the final phase of the season with top scorer Vangelis Pavlidis, who has been in scintillating form this season, but strangely enough was not representing Greece during the international break.[/p]
[p]The likelihood of Vitesse Arnhem leaving the relegation zone is shrinking by the week. With a goal difference of -32 and only 17 points after 26 rounds, things look bleak for the Arnhem team. One small starting point is the fact that the team scored in their last seven matches across all competitions, because that is something it all too often failed to do in the months before.[/p]
[p]With no fewer than eight defeats in their last nine away matches, there is little reason to expect a positive result for the low-flyer, so in that respect they can only perform better than expected. The club presented a new CEO this week: Edwin Reijntjes will have the honour of leading the club on the Rhine for at least three months. In any case, he won’t have time to be bored with so many problems on and off the field![/p]
[p]Players to watch: Dani de Wit has been directly involved in a goal in his last two appearances against Vitesse (G1, A1). Trendsetter Anis Hadj-Moussa, who can now boast to be an Algerian national team player, scored his first goal for Vitesse in the previous round.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Vitesse failed to win each of their last 13 Eredivisie trips to AZ (D4, L9), whilst failing to record a clean sheet in all 13 away games this league season.[/p]
