Double chance : AZ Alkmaar or draw
AZ Alkmaar have been struggling lately, winning none of their recent games and losing four of their last five matches without scoring a single goal. Twente have been in much better form, winning three of their last five games and only losing once. Although AZ are at home, they are not playing well at all, and Twente look much more confident.
The recent history between these two teams is also heavily in Twente's favor. In the last six meetings, Twente have won five times, and these matches often saw several goals. With AZ in such poor form and Twente looking sharp, this match seems very open and Twente are expected to win.
