AZ, Recent FormLast time out, AZ recorded an impressive 3-0 away win against Fortuna Sittard.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 4 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Few teams have managed to keep Kaaskoppen away from their goal, having scored in all but 1 of their games this season. Pascal Jansen will be unhappy that his team have failed to keep a clean sheet in so many home games, having conceded in 11 of their 14 this season.
They have shown a solid run of form lately at AFAS Stadion, which has seen them go unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home matches while registering 3 victories from the same run.
Vangelis Pavlidis will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at AFAS Stadion, having notched up 5 goals for AZ in their last 6 league matches at home.
RKC Waalwijk, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the RKC Waalwijk players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-2 away defeat at the hands of Go Ahead Eagles.
Manager Joseph Oosting will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 13 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 7 goals they managed at the other end. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
Losing 4 of their last 6 matches will concern them, but they have picked up some important points by winning the other 2 of these games.
Michiel Kramer will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for RKC Waalwijk.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 3-1 win for RKC Waalwijk.
AZ have scored in each of their last 12 games at home in the league against RKC.
AZ have lost the last 3 times they've faced RKC in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
RKC Waalwijk 0 - 4 AZAZ manager Pascal Jansen has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Dani de Wit (Foot), Jesper Karlsson (Unknown), Bruno Martins Indi (Hip) and Zinho Vanheusden (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
