AZ Alkmaar welcome PEC Zwolle for another interesting Eredivisie fixture here at AFAS Stadion.

The hosts Alkmaar saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Champions League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Dynamo Kyiv.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting PEC Zwolle have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 8-5-21 (win-draw-loss) from 34 matches.
