Form, Standings, Stats

Last Game: Zrinjski Mostar 4-3 AZ
Thursday, September 21 at 5.45pm in Europa Conference League

We said: PEC Zwolle 1-2 AZ Alkmaar

PEC Zwolle have started to adapt to life back in the Eredivisie after successive defeats at the beginning of the term, and the hosts will be confident of taking advantage of a possibly out-of-sorts AZ side. Alkmaar simply need to produce a response following the loss against Zrinjski on Thursday night, and we believe the visitors will do just that to extend their winning run to five matches in the league.
