Ajax II started the season unsuccessfully, losing the first match to Den Bosch (0:2). However, the team is traditionally strong in attack, which is evident from last year's results, and will strive to rehabilitate themselves in front of their fans. The home match can give them motivation for a productive game.
AZ II also started with a defeat (2:3 to Waalwijk), but demonstrated attacking potential last season, as well as in friendly matches. The AZ youth team usually plays openly, which often leads to mutual goals, especially in away matches.
