AZ is a team that likes to control their matches from inside the opponent’s midfield. They also like to use any opportunities to try to shoot from outside the area and prefer using the right wing to attack, using the offensive quality of winger Johansson. They often create many goal opportunities, but have a few efficiency problems in offence, so they don’t score as many goals as they could. The home coach will not be able to count on Henriksen, Haps and Lewis, who are injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Gino Coutinho, Mattias Johansson, Rajko Brežančić, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Ron Vlaar, Derrick Luckassen, Joris van Overeem, Ben Rienstra, Vincent Janssen, Dabney dos Santos, Mounir El Hamdaoui.
Coach: M. Martens.
