Preview

NEC take on AZ in the Eredivisie of Netherlands on September 28, with the match kicking off at 10:15 UTC.

Fans are eager for the showdown as NEC and AZ meet again, 6 months after their previous Eredivisie encounter that concluded in a 3-3 stalemate. NEC's form has taken a hit, as they enter this encounter after losses to PSV and Fortuna Sittard. Before facing AZ, they will face Heerenveen in Eredivisie, and the outcome of this game may heavily influence their preparations for AZ.

Following a four-game winning streak against Heracles Almelo, NAC and Levski, AZ, by contrast, head into this match looking to build on their success, stretching their unbeaten streak to ten matches. They have a challenging set of fixtures leading up to the match against NEC though, including Zwolle and Feyenoord in Eredivisie, and how they perform in these games could set the tone for their encounter with NEC.

This Eredivisie clash features attacking talents who have defined the campaigns of NEC and AZ. NEC’s attacking options, under Dick Schreuder’s management, have been bolstered by Brian Linssen, the team’s top scorer, and Tjaronn Chery, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Linssen has emerged as NEC’s leading scorer in Eredivisie this season, netting three goals, and is also the team’s top assist provider, with two key passes leading to goals so far this term. Basar Onal, Virgil Misidjan and Koki Ogawa have supported the attack well, combining for important goals and assists throughout the campaign.

Meanwhile, AZ’s attacking options, with Maarten Martens at the helm, have been bolstered by Troy Parrott, the team’s top scorer, and Sven Mijnans, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. In Eredivisie, Parrott has been AZ’s standout scorer with three goals, with Smit topping their assist tally in the competition with two. AZ have also relied on Mexx Meerdink, Ibrahim Sadiq and Denso Kasius to energize their attack through key shots and passes.
