Heracles Almelo, Recent FormLosing 1-0 away to FC Twente won't leave the Heracles Almelo squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 11 places above them in the league. They achieved 39% possession in that match and had 4 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against FC Twente's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Manager Erwin van de Looi will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 4 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 25 of their 27 games overall.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
Nikolai Laursen will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 6 goals in the last 6 league outings for Heracles Almelo.
AZ, Recent FormAZ have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-0 home win against Vitesse in their previous league match. Their share of possession in that meeting was 61%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Vitesse had 8 shots on goal with 2 on target.
With 15 goals scored from their past 6 matches and just 2 conceded, their manager Maarten Martens will be more than happy with his team's form of late. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, and they have had a recent run of 3 clean sheets overall.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
Vangelis Pavlidis will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for AZ.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
Kaaskoppen will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Heracles, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 17 meetings between the two. We've seen plenty of goals from AZ when they've visited Heraclieden in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 6 goals, which is an average of 2 per game.
Vangelis Pavlidis has scored in each of AZ's last league game against Heracles.
