In the last ten seasons, AZ Alkmaar were almost finishing as the top six Eredivisie team. That will not change in 2024/25, either. AZ Alkmaar had a series of terrible results in October, but for the last few weeks, they have been excellent, with seven games without defeat in a row. In the previous match, AZ Alkmaar won 3-1 at home in the cup against Groningen. The home side finished the match with 15 shots at the goal, more than the opponent, so AZ Alkmaar deserved all three points and surely additionally improved the team's confidence.
Like AZ Alkmaar, Twente is also one of the top six Eredivisie teams. And like AZ, they are also in excellent form, as the team from Enschede lost only two of the last 11 matches. In the previous game, they won 3-2 on the road in the cup against Katwijk. The home side is part of the third level of football in the Netherlands, so Twente's supporters surely expected a better performance against amateurs.
AZ Alkmaar vs Twente pick: Both teams to score - yes
AZ Alkmaar scored at least one goal in each of the last 11 matches. On the other hand, Twente scored at least one goal in nine of the previous 11 games. We should expect AZ Alkmaar and Twente to both score at least once in the game on Sunday afternoon.
