Prediction

  • Two teams currently on a three-match winless streak in the Eredivisie will clash on Sunday at Koning Willem II Stadion as AZ visits Willem II.
  • AZ's last league match ended in a 2-1 defeat to Sparta Rotterdam at AFAS Stadion, breaking their seven-match unbeaten run and leaving them in sixth place with 34 points. They are just two points behind fourth-placed Feyenoord, which would secure a spot in the Europa League qualifiers.
  • Willem II is positioned 12th in the league with 23 points, having scored 24 goals and conceded 28. With 14 matches left in the season, they trail eighth-placed Fortuna Sittard by two points, which would grant them access to the UEFA Conference League Play-offs. In their most recent Eredivisie match, Willem II lost 2-0 to RKC Waalwijk at Mandemakers Stadion, extending their winless streak to three games.
  • In their last encounter, Willem II emerged victorious against AZ, winning 2-1 at AFAS Stadion in November. Kyan Vaesen scored first for the Tricolores in the 37th minute, and Cisse Sandra added another goal. Mexx Meerdink scored the only goal for AZ in the 63rd minute.
  • Troy Parrott has been AZ's main attacking threat, scoring 10 goals this season, five of which opened the match. He ranks third among the league's top scorers for the 2024/2025 season.
  • Willem II's scoring has been led by Ringo Meerveld, Sandra, and Vaesen, with each player contributing four goals.
  • At home, Willem II has recorded three wins, three draws, and four losses in their 10 Eredivisie matches this season. Meanwhile, AZ holds a record of five wins, three draws, and two losses in away league matches. The Alkmaarders are aiming to extend their unbeaten streak to five matches on the road, with their last away loss occurring in November 2024 against Feyenoord.
