Fortuna Sittard, Recent FormFortuna Sittard boss Julio Velázquez will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 4-0 away mauling from Ajax.
He will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 15 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 8 goals they've managed to net. With just 2 clean sheets in the last 6 matches at home, he will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They have lost 4 of their last 6 matches, which will be a focus of concern, but their 2 wins in that period did produce some valuable points nevertheless.
AZ, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the AZ players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Sparta Rotterdam.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Whilst their long 23 game streak of scoring away from home continues, there's always a chance of a good away result.
The AZ travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Dani de Wit, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 3-1 win for AZ.
Kaaskoppen will be confident of finding the net in this one against Fortuna, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 10 encounters between the two sides. Fortunezen have struggled to keep AZ at bay when these two teams have met at Fortuna Sittard Stadion, during the last 3 times they have hosted AZ in the league, they have conceded a total of 8 goals.
Fortuna will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 4 times they've met AZ in the league and not won this fixture for 10 games in a row.
With no real injury worries, Fortuna manager Julio Velázquez will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Pascal Jansen has a number of injury concerns in his AZ squad to contend with: Dani de Wit (Foot), Maxim Dekker (Unknown), Jesper Karlsson (Unknown), Bruno Martins Indi (Hip) and Zinho Vanheusden (Knee)
