By: SportsPF Match Desk · Published: · Updated:
AZ and Twente have the league's two best defences (both conceded 10 in 9 games). AZ conceded just 3 in 4 home games, scored first in all 4 and scored 2.25 per game; but their last two weren't good, a 0-2 loss to Feyenoord and a 2-2 draw with Cambuur (10th). Twente beat PSV (3rd) 3-2 at home, but lost 1-2 at home to Utrecht (11th) last time out (their first defeat of the season after scoring first) and have been unbeaten in 3 away games. Away they score 1.75 and concede 1.25 per game. At AZ, Hornkamp (2 goals), Zoet and Smit are out and Clasie and Goes are doubtful; at Twente, Unnerstall, Lemkin, Bruns and Thorvaldsen are out. Daal has scored 5 of AZ's 20 goals (25%), Weghorst 4 of Twente's 17 (24%).
The defences are good but both teams score: AZ scored in all 4 home games, Twente in 3 of 4 away games; BTTS – Yes landed in 56% of AZ games and 67% of Twente games. AZ's home defence supports the double chance 1X, while both teams' over 1.5 rates (89% and 78%) show the game could finish with at least 2 goals.
