PEC Zwolle – AZ Alkmaar

PEC Zwolle host AZ Alkmaar in what promises to be a stark contrast of ambitions, with the home side languishing in 16th place on just four points from six games, having scored only six times while conceding 17. In contrast, AZ sit second in the table, boasting 16 points from an unbeaten run of six matches, their attack already netting 17 goals against just six conceded. The Dutch giants will look to extend their flawless record and keep pressure on the leaders, while Zwolle will be desperate for a win to climb out of the relegation zone. Historically the gap between the clubs has been wide, and the numbers this season underline a duel in which AZ enter as clear favourites.
