AZ Alkmaar vs Willem II prediction
THE FORECAST
AZ is at the top with a perfect five-out-of-five record and produces an average of 3.2 goals per match, while Willem II with only one point and a defensive average of 3.3 goals conceded per game appears to be the weakest team in the competition. AZ has a Europa League match in five days, which allows for light rotation, but the quality difference is so large that this barely affects the home advantage. The cool, wet weather suits AZ's physical pressing game better than a fragile Willem II that struggles against intensive opponents.
