AZ Alkmaar has the opportunity to consolidate its 3rd place and get closer to the 2nd by going to win at the badly-ranked Twente, currently 15th (out of 18) of the Dutch championship. The AZ, 5 lengths of Ajax, 2nd, is in a good dynamic with 2 successes to Willem II (2-0) and ahead of PEC Zwolle (4-1) in section and 1 draw ahead of Roda JC (2- 2), last February 4th. Til’s partners (6 goals) have not experienced the away defeat since the PSV Eindhoven (3-2) failed on August 12, 2017. This trip to Twente promises to be a formality for AZ who easily won the first leg (2-0).
Twente, who is only 2 points ahead of the red lantern, Sparta Rotterdam, will fight for support until the last day. The latest results do not point to optimism with 5 games without any success (3 draws and 2 defeats). Twente scored only 3 out of 15 points in the game and was 2-0 against PSV (0-2) at home and Heerenveen (1-0).
We must go back to January 2015 to see the last victory of Twente on Alkmaar.
