Another entertaining match in the Eredivisie. AZ is in the 3rd position from completing five games. They greet FC Twente who are placed 5th from five matches.
- AZ have not yet lost a game.
- FC Twente have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
These are hustling days for the hosts, as they played only three days ago in the Europa Conference League. That game was an away game at Dnipro-1, so at least AZ are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
