AZ Alkmaar welcome NEC Nijmegen at AFAS Stadion, Alkmaar on Sunday, Dec 13 at 4:45 PM in a Eredivisie fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
AZ Alkmaar come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). NEC Nijmegen travel drawing too many games (4D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
In 10 previous meetings, AZ Alkmaar lead 5–3 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in AZ Alkmaar won 5–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives AZ Alkmaar a slight edge, but NEC Nijmegen are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
