Willem II vs. AZ Alkmaar – Score prediction (06.10.2019)

Overview.

After a start which saw them win three of their opening four league games (W3, L1), Willem II have won just one of the following four to this point (W1, L3). However, this eight-game start is better than in five of their last seven seasons, despite the fact that Willem have scored just 1.3 per-match on average. Averaging 1.75 goals per-match, Willem’s home league games this term have been subdued compared to their Eredivisie road trips (4.0 per-match avg). In turn, just 30.43% of the total goals scored in their matches this term have been registered here.

Led by a man who boasts the club’s best eight-game points start to an Eredivisie campaign, AZ Alkmaar are clearly unfazed by their midweek European excursions. Impressively, the ‘Cheeseheads’ have kept a clean sheet in league matches directly following a European clash on four of a possible five occasions this term (W3, D1, L1). AZ have been notoriously quick out of the blocks too, having scored a first-half opener in three of four away league games this term. They also boast the Eredivisie’s strongest defence, with just 0.38 conceded per-match on average.
