AZ, Recent FormThe AZ squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against FC Twente, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.
Manager Pascal Jansen will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 10 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 15 of their 17 games this season.
They have had a good run of form at AFAS Stadion recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
When home matches come round at AFAS Stadion, Vangelis Pavlidis will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 8 goals in AZ's last 6 home league matches.
PEC Zwolle, Recent FormA point gained from their 2-2 draw against SC Heerenveen in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for PEC Zwolle. In that game they had 55% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to SC Heerenveen who had 20 attempts and 10 on target.
Their boss Johnny Jansen is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 13 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 11 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Lennart Thy will be hoping to create problems for AZ in this one, having scored 5 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for PEC Zwolle.
PEC Zwolle will be looking to forget their last league encounter with AZ, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 0-3 defeat.
AZ have scored in each of their last 12 games at home in the league against Blauwvingers.
On home soil AZ have managed to keep their visitors at bay for a very long time in this league fixture, denying PEC Zwolle a win against them for 12 games in a row.
AZ manager Pascal Jansen has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Sven Mijnans (Knee), Hobie Verhulst (Unknown) and Sem Westerveld (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the PEC Zwolle manager Johnny Jansen ahead of this clash, with Samir Lagsir (Knee) missing out, which gives Jansen a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
