AZ Alkmaar host SC Heerenveen at AFAS Stadion, Alkmaar on Saturday, Jan 9 at 9:00 PM in the Eredivisie.
AZ Alkmaar come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). SC Heerenveen, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. AZ Alkmaar head into this on the back of a defeat, while SC Heerenveen arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
History strongly favours AZ Alkmaar here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against SC Heerenveen, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in SC Heerenveen won 2–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives AZ Alkmaar a slight edge, but SC Heerenveen are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
