Cambuur Expected to Score at Home Against AZ

Cambuur average 1.5 goals per home game this season and have failed to score in just one of their eight league matches. AZ Alkmaar concede 1.3 goals per away game while sitting third in the table. The visitors miss Hornkamp, Resink and Smit through injury, which limits their options in midfield and attack. Cambuur have recorded three or more total goals in six of eight league games, often creating chances even when results are mixed. Their recent results include two wins and two draws in the last five outings. Head-to-head meetings show four draws in the last ten encounters. The game may hinge on whether Cambuur can break through AZ’s reshaped back line.
