Match preview: NEC vs AZ
NEC and AZ clash at Weeren’s Sportpark for the 27th round of the Eredivisie. The last time these two sides met, AZ secured a 1–0 victory at home in this season’s league on 17 August 2024. Recent head-to-head records favour the visitors, who have won 5 of the last 8 encounters, drawn 2, and lost once. The home advantage might play a crucial role, as AZ tends to show discrepancies in their performances whether home or away.
Team analysis: NEC
After 8 wins, 5 draws, and 13 defeats, the home team is currently in 11th position with 29 points. Their latest match saw them win 1–0 against FC Utrecht, following a loss against Go Ahead Eagles at home (2–3). NEC’s performance on the road mirrors that at home, as they have recorded 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses away, compared to 4 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses at home. In their last 10 home fixtures in the league, NEC has achieved 3 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses, accumulating 13 points from a possible 30. While their defensive solidity has been lacking—conceding in 7 of the last 10 matches—their attack has been consistent, managing to score in 8 of the last 10 league games. At home, there is a goal-scoring trend, as 10 of their last 13 league matches have ended with over 2.5 goals. In 26 matches, they have conceded the first goal 14 times and have yet to recover the match thereafter.
The NEC finally broke their losing streak, adding three points in the Dutch Championship. This victory might lift the team’s spirits as they strive to ascend the league table. Maintaining this standard on the pitch will be vital for seeking another positive outcome, especially against an AZ side that is typically challenging to overcome.
Team analysis: AZ
The visiting team is currently in 6th place with 44 points, having secured 13 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses. In their penultimate fixture, they suffered a defeat to SC Heerenveen (1–3), followed by a draw away against Ajax (2–2). AZ are affected by home advantage, presenting a stronger performance in front of their fans; their last 30 matches show 3 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses when playing away, having scored 23 goals and conceded 27. At home, however, they have achieved 12 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, netting 27 goals while conceding just 10. In the championship, AZ has garnered 15 points from the last 30 available, registering 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses in their last 10 away matches. Their attack has been prolific, scoring in 9 of the last 10 league encounters. In this competition, they have conceded the first goal in 6 of 25 matches, managing to turn around the result just once. Moreover, they demonstrated vulnerability late in matches, with 5 of their 14 goals conceded occurring between the 76th and 90th minutes.
Despite two matches without a win, AZ remains close to the top of the Dutch Championship. The team has set considerable goals for the season and will not relinquish them easily. A return to winning ways is essential, and they must take calculated risks in this encounter against a NEC side that has been inconsistent.
