AZ Alkmaar vs NEC Nijmegen Predictions

• AZ Alkmaar have a perfect six-game winning record in competitive games this term.
• AZ are haven’t conceded and won with multi-goal margins in their last three home games.
• NEC failed to defeat AZ Alkmaar last term, conceding four goals across the H2Hs.

AZ look to continue their perfect season start

After winning each of their first six competitive games of the season, AZ’s prospects look great with maximum points in the Eredivisie and a European group stage lying in wait. Though first, they must face NEC Nijmegen at home, a side that they remained unbeaten against last term (W1, D1).

The H2H victory last term came by a multi-goal margin just as each of their last five home games. The Cheese Heads have scored an incredible 21 goals across their last five games here with just one conceded, suggesting that they have what it takes to put NEC to the sword here.

NEC won’t lie down

While AZ’s form is nothing short of incredible, NEC often prove to be plucky opponents in this division. A mixed start to the season (W1, D1, L1) leaves them seeking consistency, yet they did lose four of their last six away league games and could be susceptible yet again.

Despite NEC’s reasonable start, we predict that the Alkmaarders simply have too much in reserve for them to deal with. As such, we’re going for a -1 handicap selection for AZ, along with a smaller stakes selection going the way of a 2-0 home win in the correct score market.
