At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 5 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 03‑05‑2020, in a match for the Eredivisie, they tied (‑). Although this is a match between 4th and 8th of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 4th best in home matches and the 15th best in away matches.

Analysis AZ

The home team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 37 points won, after 10 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against ADO Den Haag, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Feyenoord, by (2‑3). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 20 points in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 17 conceded, against 17 points won at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 10 conceded. For the league, AZ won 17 points out of 24 possible points, after 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 8 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 1‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in all of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 18 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times, but have turned the score around in 2.

The Alkmaar team plays at home and needs to go all over the opponent to win another victory. AZ is having a good campaign and defends an eight-match unbeaten run, in addition to trying to fight for one of the places in international competitions. Against Utrecht, they must play with determination and focus on attack, seeking to control the duel with speed, organization and short passes in the midfield.

Confirmed Lineup: Marco Bizot, Owen Wijndal, Yukinari Sugawara, Bruno Martins Indi, Pantelis Hatzidiakos, Fredrik Midtsjø, Teun Koopmeiners, Albert Guðmundsson, Jesper Karlsson, Myron Boadu, Calvin Stengs.
Coach: M. Martens.

Analysis Utrecht

The away team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 24 points won, after 5 wins, 9 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Heracles, by (2‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Sparta Rotterdam, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 7 points in away matches and 17 at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 12 conceded at home, against 8 goals scored and 12 conceded in away matches. Their last away match for this competition ended in a loss by (1‑0) against Vitesse. In the last 8 away league matches Utrecht has a record of 1 win, 4 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 24 possible. In their away matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 1‑0 (3 out of 8 matches) and after the 90' 1‑1 (3 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 5 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 18 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Utrecht are looking for a third straight victory and need a match with a lot of delivery within the four lines to overcome AZ. The team must bet on an intense marking in the attacking midfield to pressure the rival to the error and take advantage of the opportunities to score the goal. In addition, they need to control the duel in the midfield to prevent the opponent from having space to create the offensive moves. The confrontation promises to be quite disputed and a draw can be considered a good result.

Confirmed Lineup: Eric Oelschlägel, Django Warmerdam, Hidde ter Avest, Willem Janssen, Tommy St Jago, Bart Ramselaar, Joris van Overeem, Sander van de Streek, Adam Maher, Othman Boussaid, Gyrano Kerk.
Coach: H. Fraser.
