Ajax Hold Home Advantage Over AZ Alkmaar
Ajax sit second in the Eredivisie after collecting 21 points from their opening ten games. AZ Alkmaar trail just one point behind in fifth place. Ajax have recorded three wins and a draw in their last five outings, while AZ have won two, drawn one and lost two over the same stretch. The home side average 2.9 goals per game this season and have produced three or more total goals in eight of their ten league fixtures. Both teams have scored in eight of those matches too. Although AZ have won seven of the last ten head to head encounters, current league standing and home scoring trends point toward Ajax. The main risk lies in AZ maintaining their away scoring rate of 2.2 goals per game.
