Prediction on Excelsior vs AZ Alkmaar

According to the bookies, the guests are favorites. We think AZ Alkmaar to win in this matchup, as they potentially “lost” a game against NEC (the match was abandoned in the 90th minutes).

AZ will be eager to maintain their strong away run, having gained three points in each of their league matches away from home. The visitors will be looking to continue their seven-match undefeated away record (W6 D1 L0). They haven’t been defeated since March 19, when they were defeated by Twente. That’s why we pick AZ victory.

Prediction: AZ Alkmaar to win

In the previous five meetings between Excelsior and AZ Alkmaar, there were scored more than 2 goals in each match. We expect to see the same scenario.

Betting Tip: Total goals over 2.5

Match Preview on Excelsior vs AZ Alkmaar

Excelsior will host the title contenders AZ Alkmaar this Saturday.

In their last game in the league, the hosts suffered an unexpected defeat against low-table side Volendam (1:3).
Excelsior are winless in the last three league games (W0 D1 L2). After 10 games, they have 13 points and sit in 7th place.

The good news for them is that they have reached KNVB Bekker’s next round after earning a victory against Den Bosch this midweek.

Meanwhile, AZ Alkmaar will be heading to Van Donge & De Roo Stadion to extend their winning league streak.

Their last Eredivisie game against NEC was suspended due to a medical accident involving Bas Dost (NEC striker).
NEC Nijmegen’s forward suddenly collapsed during the second half.

After regaining consciousness and being helped off the pitch, the 34-year-old former Netherlands international announced on NEC’s social media that he was feeling OK.

At the time of Bas Dost getting treatment, NEC were leading 2-1.

After 9 games AZ Alkmaar have 25 points and sit in 2nd place.
