AZ Alkmaar is in fifth place and has demonstrated consistent scoring at home. They have scored in each of their last five home matches, including victories against direct rivals. Their defense occasionally makes mistakes, especially against attacking teams.
Nijmegen is in fourth place, boasting the league's most potent attack outside of the top clubs. They regularly score on the road, but often concede, leading to high-scoring games. Their defensive performance leaves much to be desired.
Given the attacking potential of both teams and their propensity to score, a high-scoring match seems the most likely outcome.
