As De Graafschap and AZ square off once more, the memory of De Graafschap's 1-3 win in their Eerste Divisie face-off from 6 months ago still lingers. De Graafschap's most recent match last Sunday resulted in a defeat to Vitesse, and they'll be keen to make amends here. They face a packed schedule leading up to their match against AZ though, with fixtures including Eindhoven, Willem II, ADO Den Haag and Dordrecht 90 in Eerste Divisie, fixtures that are likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with AZ.
AZ are on a troubling run in the same manner, heading into this match following three back-to-back defeats to RKC, Emmen and Vitesse, as they have now gone four matches without tasting victory. Before De Graafschap, their schedule includes Helmond Sport, Cambuur Leeuwarden and MVV Maastricht in Eerste Divisie. Their performances across these fixtures could be a key factor in their preparations for De Graafschap. Their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last four matches.
In this Eerste Divisie showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for De Graafschap and AZ throughout the campaign. De Graafschap’s leading scorer Reuven Niemeijer and Bouke Boersma have played significant roles in the team’s attack, guided by Rickard Nilsson, each providing decisive moments in their offensive play. Niemeijer has already scored fifteen goals in Eerste Divisie this season, while El Kadiri has been their leading creator in the competition with six assists. De Graafschap’s attacking depth is further showcased by Othniel Raterink, Arjen Van Der Heide and Jevon Simons, who have each made valuable contributions this season.
Meanwhile, Kasper Boogaard and Sem Van Duijn have been pivotal for AZ’s attack, carefully orchestrated by Kalle Karlsson, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Van Duijn leads AZ’s scoring charts in Eerste Divisie this season with nine goals, while Boogaard remains their top assist provider in the competition with eight. Jasper Hartog, Yoel van den Ban and Kevin Toppenberg have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel AZ’s attack.
