Match Preview
AZ fell to a second consecutive defeat over the weekend, which marked the first time all season that they have blown a half-time lead to lose a game. However, the ‘Cheeseheads’ have won six of their seven home league matches in 2019 (W6, L1), scoring 2.71 goals per match on average since the turn of the year. |
The hosts have scored before half-time in 60% of their home league matches this season, and have averaged 1.0 first-half goals per home match ahead of kick-off. However, less than half (44.44%) of AZ’s home victories this term have seen them leading at the break. |
Meanwhile, Heracles have notched just 31.25% of their total points haul away from home, while scoring under a third (17) of their 55 league goals away from Almelo. Moreover, 70.59% (12) of those away goals have come after half-time, with half of those coming between the 61st and 75th minutes of play. |
To achieve an historic first league double over AZ, Heracles must overcome a dire recent record of 12 straight league defeats in Alkmaar. Furthermore, Heracles have conceded at least three goals in eight of their last nine trips to AZ’s home. |
Players to watch: AZ’s top-scorer, Guus Til (11 goals) has found the net in two of the last three H2H matches. |
Adrián Dalmau recently became just the second Heracles player to score 16 Eredivisie goals in a single campaign, after Samuel Armenteros in 2016/17 (19). |
Stat attack: AZ boss John van den Brom is yet to draw a game in 12 H2Hs with Heracles (W10, L2). |
Curiously, only Heracles themselves have won more home league games after a level half-time score than AZ, who have done so four times. |
No Eredivisie side has received as many bookings as Heracles (60 yellow, four red – 2.06 cards per match average). |
