Ajax vs AZ Alkmaar Preview
Ajax’s bad streak both in the Eredivisie and the UEFA Europa League continues.
Heading into this match, the Amsterdam-based club played out a second draw in the Europa League group stage against AEK Athens 1:1.
Meanwhile, in the league, the situation is miserable. After 5 rounds, Ajax collected just 5 points (W1, D2, L2).
Moreover, the last league game between RKC Waalwijk and Ajax was suspended after the home team’s goalkeeper, Etienne Vaessen, collided with Ajax forward Brian Brobbey and lost consciousness.
The game was called off in the 85th minute, with guests leading 3-2.
On the other hand, AZ Alkmaar had a strong start to the season.
After 7 rounds, the guest have 6 victories and one draw. With 19 points AZ are occupying second place, two points behind PSV.
Is it worth mentioning that AZ Alkmaar are coming into this game in a positive mood, as they beat Legia in a UEFA Conference League group stage matchup this midweek.
