AZ, Recent FormAZ head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-1 away win against Ajax in their last league encounter.
It's clear that Pascal Jansen, their manager, will be very satisfied with his side's performance over the last 6 matches, a spell which has seen them notch up 14 goals and only give 2 away. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 11 games in a row, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Vangelis Pavlidis has scored in each of AZ's last 8 league games.
SC Heerenveen, Recent FormA point gained from their 1-1 draw against NEC Nijmegen in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for SC Heerenveen.
With 5 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 17 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
Osame Sahraoui will be hoping to create problems for AZ in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for SC Heerenveen.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
AZ will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against De Superfriezen having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 17 meetings.
In the league, AZ has had a good run of results against Heerenveen, being unbeaten in their last 7 meetings.
Dani de Wit will be feeling confident of netting goals for AZ in this one against Heerenveen with his scoring record of 3 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
With only Mees de Wit (Foot) and Sem Westerveld (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Pascal Jansen will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Heerenveen manager Kees van Wonderen ahead of this clash, with Che Nunnely (Knee) missing out, which gives van Wonderen a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
