AZ Alkmaar – Twente

Match analysis

AZ Alkmaar head into the clash as league runners‑up, having amassed 16 points from five wins and a draw while boasting a 17‑6 goal tally at home. Their visitors, Twente, sit fourth with 13 points after four victories, a draw and a single defeat, and they have netted 12 times while conceding five. The narrow three‑point gap and the fact that both sides have been unbeaten in their last five fixtures set the stage for a tightly contested encounter. A win for AZ would widen the gap at the summit, whereas a Twente triumph could see them close in on the second spot and keep the race for European places alive.
