AZ Alkmaar take on the visitors Heracles in the round 32 match of Dutch Eredivisie. The match will be played on Tuesday , April 23rd at AFAS Stadion (Alkmaar).
Having lost in the last round to a direct competitor in the fight for bronze medals Feyennord, AZ almost lost hope for these medals, and with them the direct ticket to the Europa League. But neither the life nor the championship does not end there, you have to play further, they have to qualify for Europa League, but before that there are still 3 rounds to play.

Having defeated Heerenveen in the last round, Heracles strengthened his position in the top 7, they are now in 5th place. But it’s too early to calm down, to play 3 more rounds, including clash with Willem-II currently 8th and only 4 points behind. And it’s not at all a fact that Heracles already has a play-off ticket in their pocket.
And the situation before the meeting of these rivals is as follows: AZ will not reach the 3rd Feyenoord anymore, as there are 3 rounds before the finish and 7 points is notable advantage. At the same time, the play-off place also does not go anywhere as the team is 8 points from the 8th place; this almost guarantees it to him. It is worth noting that AZ has generally suffering a slump lately. Okay, they lost to Feyenoord, but before that in the 3 rounds they scored only 2 points when playing against opponents who were not the strongest in the championship, here all the same, their pursuer according to the table, lags behind by 4 eyes. In addition, the opponent is motivated to gain at least 1 point. It turns out that it’s a point to hook it or not, we’ll see, but it will certainly avoid the thrashing defeat. In the 1st round match, Heracles at AZ won 3-2 in his field. The visitors play poorly on the road as they lost 8 times in 15 rounds. But now, as we can see, AZ is not in the best shape. In addition, I do not propose to play here a positive outcome for the guests, but just to believe that if Heracles loses, then with a difference of 1 goal. Well, just to be sure we can pick the visitors with +2.0 handicap. Surely with a difference of 3 goals from AZ now there is not enough power to win. The hosts won 7 league matches by 3 or more goals , but in 5 cases the opponents were outsiders Fortuna, Emmen, and Breda. The 5th team in the table is not expected to give up so easily.
Prediction for the match: Heracles to win with +2.0 handicap.
