My Prediction
AZ Alkmaar by 2If one were to look at the head-to-head history of these teams, they might also notice a rather significant trend of AZ Alkmaar coming out on top. Peel your eyes over their past encounters: 3-0, 3-2, 3-1 and again a 3-0. If numbers are anything to go by, and they usually are the bread and butter in my business, AZ Alkmaar seems to have RKC Waalwijk beat.
Player stats wise, RKC Waalwijk has some talent on their team. Yassin Oukili, their top performer, has been pulling his weight and more, with a robust 7.87 rating. I mean, surely he's putting in more effort than Kevin Felida down there with a depressing 6.80 rating, am I right? Rounding off their top gunners, we have Richonell Margaret and Oskar Zawada boasting impressive ratings of 7.73 and 7.50 respectively.
AZ Alkmaar, on the other side of the playing field, also have their resplendent stars. Zico Buurmeester and Alexandre Penetra, both holding a 7.23 rating, have been making mothers and girlfriends proud all season. Along with them, Seiya Maikuma who's been packing a punch with a rating of 7.20.
In the goalkeeper's corner, both teams have strong defenders in the net. Jeroen Houwen for RKC Waalwijk with a 6.63 rating and Rome Jayden Owusu-Oduro for AZ Alkmaar with a striking 7.43 rating. Honestly, who needs a wall when you have Owusu-Oduro?
If we jump into the past results, it's not looking too bright for RKC Waalwijk with a recent win-loss record leaning heavily on the latter. They seem to have decided that defeat is the new victory. Meanwhile, AZ Alkmaar are presuming a more appealing form, punctuated by a few mishaps here and there.
Collecting all these little tidbits and grilling them together, even a half-blind sports commentator like myself can spot which way the wind's blowing.
