Command Analysis

AZ Alkmaar

Current form
AZ was approaching the start of the season as a clear contender for a ticket to the Champions League – it was not easy to compete with PSV and Ajax for the first two places, but the cheese farmers were quite capable of competing for the third place. However, already in the first round, a lot of mistakes were made and Alkmaar quickly fell behind the competitors and did not participate in the fight for the third place at the finish of the championship. AZ finished in fifth place in the table with 57 points, putting third Feyenoord ahead by 11 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Parrot and Clasie are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- AZ has not lost in the last six matches – three wins and three draws.
- AZ has missed four of the last five home matches.
Approximate line-up: Owusu–Oduro - Wolfe, Pentera, Goes, Maikuma – Kopmainers, Smith, Van Bommel, Mijnans, Poku – Murdink.

SC Heerenveen

Current form
For objective reasons, Heerenveen did not have the opportunity to set more ambitious goals than a place in the top eight – the selection of players did not even allow them to count on a ticket to the Europa League. As a result, Robin Veldman's team did not cope with their task without difficulty, having managed to solve everything in the last round. In the home match against the unmotivated Feyenoord, the superfreezes only needed a victory, and they managed to achieve it – with a score of 2:0, the Rotterdam team were beaten, and the ninth place was guaranteed.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bohnevich, De Weis and Milovanovic are injured.

2.55Tip and bets
AZ lost the Cup final, failed to even cling to the fourth place, and now the only way to save the season is to win the playoffs for the Conference League. Of course, the cheese farmers are the clear favorites in today's match – the hosts have a huge advantage in the class, are in good shape, and traditionally score points on their opponent's field. Heerenveen made it to the ninth place with great difficulty, but the opponent is too experienced and strong, it is unlikely that the guests have a real chance to create a sensation.
