Preview
AZ face Groningen in the Eredivisie of Netherlands on November 8. Kickoff is scheduled for 15:45 your local time.
All eyes turn to the pitch as AZ and Groningen renew their battle, 8 months after their previous Eredivisie face-off that concluded in a 3-0 victory for Groningen. AZ come into this match following a defeat to Twente yesterday, looking to bounce back with a stronger performance. They have a challenging set of fixtures leading up to the match against Groningen though, including Juventus in Europa League League Stage and Ajax in Eredivisie, and how they perform in these games could set the tone for their encounter with Groningen.
Groningen approach this clash having drawn with NEC yesterday. Before facing AZ, they will face Sparta Rotterdam in Eredivisie and Emmen in National Cup, fixtures that are likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with AZ. Their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in nine consecutive away matches.
This Eredivisie clash features attacking talents who have defined the campaigns of AZ and Groningen. AZ’s attacking options, with Leeroy Echteld steering the side, have been bolstered by Mexx Meerdink, the team’s top scorer, and Ro-Zangelo Daal, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Daal has already scored five goals in Eredivisie this season, with Chavez leading their creative tally in the league with three assists. AZ have also relied on Weslley Patati, Peer Koopmeiners and Valdemar Byskov to energize their attack through key shots and passes.
Meanwhile, Groningen’s Thom Van Bergen and top finisher Brynjolfur Willumsson have played important roles in ensuring their attack, crafted under Dick Lukkien’s leadership, remains effective. Groningen’s top scorer in Eredivisie, Willumsson, has eight goals this season, while Van Bergen remains their top assist provider in the competition with three. David van der Werff, Tygo Land and Marco Rente have supported the attack well, combining for important goals and assists throughout the campaign.
