Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: Sparta Rotterdam – AZ Alkmaar
Sparta started this round still in the top half of the table, but unless something changes soon, the chances are slim that they’ll end up there this year. The Spangenaren lost three of their last four matches and have failed to score in five of their last eight fixtures in all competitions. While the midfielders and forwards still manage to find the back of the net, the wingers are nowhere near the numbers Vito van Crooij produced last season.
Despite the results, the Spangenaren create much more danger than one might think, as statistics show they have created the most big chances after the traditional top three teams in the league (67). However, they usually struggle against AZ, having failed to win in 31 of their last 33 encounters (D8, L23). However, the two victories came in 2019 and 2023.
AZ Alkmaar
Ruben van Bommel was the hero for AZ last weekend. He did what his father Mark often did in his career by helping his team to a victory over Ajax by scoring himself. Van Bommel was responsible for both goals in AZ’s 2-0 win over Ajax, doubling his goal tally in the Eredivisie. After six league matches without a win, this victory was crucial for AZ as it widened the gap between the two teams to six points. Meanwhile, Vangelis Pavlidis has his own battle to fight. The Greek striker saw his colleague Luuk de Jong score a hat-trick last week, pushing him down the top scorers’ list. Pavlidis has scored 21 goals, one less than the PSV captain. Riechedly Bazoer will miss Saturday evening’s game due to suspension.
Hot Stats
Players to watch: Arno Verschueren has received bookings in three of his five appearances against AZ. Dani de Wit has been involved in eight goals in his nine matches against Sparta (6 goals, 2 assists).
Hot stat: Sparta lost by a 2-0 scoreline in four of their last six matches. In their last six home matches, they have conceded exactly two goals each time.
