AZ Alkmaar vs Sittard -AZ is making the most of PSV and Ajax’s and other league heavyweights’ problems. Alkmaar are currently ranked second in the standings, four points behind Feyenoord.
Sittard, meanwhile, has only managed one victory in the previous five game weeks, and that came against relegation-threatened Groningen. Its dismal road performance is also a key source of concern for their supporters.
Over the previous 25 years, AZ has a great head-to-head record against this opponent. In fact, they have a 100% winning record at this venue since 2001 and have won 10 of the last 11 encounters between the two.
What venue will host the game between AZ Alkmaar vs Sittard?
AZ Alkmaar is going head to head with Fortuna Sittard starting on 22 Jan 2023 at 15:45 UTC at AFAS Stadion stadium, Alkmaar city, Netherlands.
Who will win the match between AZ Alkmaar vs Sittard?
As was previously said, Alkmaar is currently in excellent condition and has a strong history against this opponent.
In actuality, they have won six of their last eight games. In addition, they have gone completely unbeaten at this venue since May in all competitions, with the exception of their game against league leaders Feyenoord.
The only victory Sittard has had in the past three months came against Groningen, who are currently in the fifteenth position. Furthermore, since December of 2021, they have only recorded five road victories.
As it stands, the hosts AZ should easily win.
How many goals will be scored in the match?
In five of their previous eight games and seven of their previous nine head-to-head matches, AZ scored two goals or more. Sittard, meanwhile, not only failed to maintain a clean sheet in every away game this season, but they also gave up two goals or more in every game they played away from home with the exception of three.
As a result, the likelihood that this game will end in a goal fest is fairly high.
Will Both teams Score in the match?
Six of the last eleven head-to-head games between the two teams featured clean sheets, and more importantly, Arizona has had an incredible home record this year. Sittard, who are headed for the relegation zone, are unlikely to present the in-form hosts with much of a challenge.
Because of this, it is improbable that they will succeed this weekend.
