AZ manager Maarten Martens will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 5-1 away defeat by PSV. They came away from that fixture with 41% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, PSV managed 18 attempts on goal, with 8 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 11 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and when playing at home this season, they've notched up 7 clean sheets in 14 games.
On an individual basis, Vangelis Pavlidis will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 25 goals in AZ's 29 league games this season.

The 3-2 away defeat to FC Volendam will not have sat easily with the RKC Waalwijk squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they recorded 59 % of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 8 on target. Their opponents found the target on 8 of their 20 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Henk Fraser will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they have failed to score in 7 of their 14 games this season.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
Michiel Kramer has scored 3 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against AZ.
