Utrecht comes into this match in good shape, having won three of their last five games and drawing the other two. They are on a nice run. AZ Alkmaar has also been playing well, with three wins in their last five, but they did lose their most recent match.

Looking at recent meetings between these two, their games have often been very open with plenty of goals. The last time they played, it was a high-scoring affair. This suggests another match that could be quite exciting and closely contested.
