AZ Alkmaar form and stats

AZ Alkmaar, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) in Eredivisie, have collected seven points from their first three Eredivisie games here at AFAS Stadion, a promising start.

Heracles form and stats

The seven points Heracles have gathered from their first three away trips in the Eredivisie is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. Heracles love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

It's the second away game in a row for Heracles, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus FC Twente (placed 5th) in the Eredivisie last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 4-1 vs Willem II.

The Heracles manager F. Wormuth has got the team scoring on the road, with 6 away goals in 3 league matches. 4 goals have been conceded by Heracles in these games.

Head 2 Head
