Head-to-head
Historically, AZ Alkmaar has dominated the recent meetings against Heerenveen.

The only victory for Heerenveen during this time came in a high-scoring affair back in April 2016 when they overcame Alkmaar with a scoreline of 4-2. This trend will certainly loom large in both teams' tactical approach to the game.
Key factors
A significant advantage for AZ Alkmaar is their current form which is bolstered by an attacking tilt, featuring players in good scoring form, notably leading scorers who can capitalize on defensive lapses. Furthermore, both teams employ a 4-2-3-1 formation that allows them to dominate midfield play, posing a challenge for Heerenveen’s defense, which has shown vulnerabilities.
