AZ Alkmaar will host Twente at the AFAS Stadion on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Eredivisie campaign.
The hosts are enjoying a good run of results at the moment and continue their push for Europa League football. They beat NEC Nijmegen 3-0 last time out, with three different players getting on the scoresheet including the league joint-top scorer Vangelis Pavlidis, who netted his 27th goal of the campaign.
AZ Alkmaar sit fourth in the league table with 58 points from 31 matches. They are five points behind their weekend opponents in third place and will be looking to reduce that gap with maximum points on Sunday.
Twente have enjoyed a strong season and now have their sights set on the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. They picked up a rather comfortable 3-1 home victory over Almere City in their game last weekend via goals from three different players including Mathias Kjolo, who recorded his maiden Eredivisie strike.
