AZ Alkmaar vs Twente Prediction: Derby match of the round

The home team is in great shape at the beginning of the season and he is slightly favored to win three points in this match. Right now, he is sitting at the third position in the standings with 13 points, after five played matches. Anyway, the guests are also in very good form at the start of the season, so I think that this match will be a tough one. They have 12 points and are sitting at the fifth position in the standings. In the last round, they played great against one of the better teams in this league PSV Eindhoven and won 2:1 at home, so we can see that they are in really good form lately. At any rate, these two teams are very effective and they score about two goals on average this year.

AZ Alkmaar started this season same as they finished the previous in great shape. After 5 rounds they have 4 wins and only 1 draw, scoring 10 and conceded only 3 goals. AZ also played a match in the Europa Conference League last week and also was victorious. At home ground and with the current form AZ can be considered as a favorite in this match.

Twente this season isn’t competing in any international competition, so the team’s focus is fully at the matches from domestic league. In 5 matches the visitors have 4 wins and 1 defeat, 10 goals scored and only 2 conceded. Twente’s form is also on another level this season and the team’s ambitions are high, so we will see how they will play against team in great shape and also with high ambitions.

Both teams are playing well in the defense, but when they play against each other there are always excitements and goals. Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals are realistic expectations from this match.
