PEC Zwolle vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction

AZ Alkmaar’s winning streak came to a shocking end on Thursday night when they were on the wrong side of one of the most amazing comebacks you will ever see.

Pascal Jansen’s men had a three-goal advantage at the half time of their mid-week’s UEFA Conference League fixture against European debutants Zrinjski Mostar.

However, AZ then inexplicably conceded four second-half goals to lose the game 3-4 and leave Bosnia and Herzegovina empty-handed.

It was a very painful night indeed for Jansen and his troops and we are yet to see the impact it will leave on them in the upcoming fixtures.

AZ Alkmaar will travel to MAC PARK Stadion to take on PEC Zwolle in the sixth round of the Eredivisie on Sunday afternoon.

This is not the ideal timing to be facing Zwolle who gained confidence by taking advantage of an easier schedule in the recent weeks.

Zwolle won two and drew one of the previous three Eredivisie matches to move up to the eighth place in the table.

AZ Alkmaar are obviously still the favorites with an impeccable record of four wins in four outings but the aforementioned mid-week’s defeat in Mostar could affect their display on Sunday big time.

Latest Meetings

AZ own a much better overall record against PEC Zwolle but it is interesting to note that they are actually negative in the road clashes with Zwolle (four wins and five defeats in the last 13 games at MAC PARK Stadion).

The teams exchanged a home win each in the 2021/22 Eredivisie campaign (their previous competitive clashes).

Each of the last five outings between Zwolle and AZ produced goals at both ends.

The Verdict

AZ Alkmaar’s defensive line revealed a lot of holes on Thursday night and we expect the visitors to play yet another high-scoring affair this weekend.

We will take the Both Teams To Score as the main betting option at the 1.70 odds while you can also take PEC Zwolle to win or draw double chance at the 2.05 odds.
