Our Prediction for the Waalwijk vs AZ Alkmaar Match
Waalwijk has been on a downward trajectory, with their primary focus this season likely being survival in the Eredivisie. They have had a tough start to the season, suffering heavy defeats, and look vulnerable defensively. AZ Alkmaar, on the other hand, is solidifying its reputation as a top-four side in Dutch football, with a strong start to the new campaign despite the loss of key players over the summer.
AZ Alkmaar should have too much quality for a struggling Waalwijk side. The "Cheese Farmers" are expected to take advantage of their opponent's poor form and secure a comfortable victory.
