Vitesse and AZ Alkmaar's youth team meet in the middle of the Eerste Divisie standings, and both teams are skilled and prone to attack. The hosts, despite their inconsistent results, consistently score over 2.5 goals: four of their last five matches have seen at least three goals. Meanwhile, Vitesse's defense leaves much to be desired—they regularly concede, even against mid-table teams.
Jong AZ is even more telling in this regard: in their last four matches, they have confidently exceeded the over 2.5 goals, three of which have resulted in a real goal-scoring shootout (2-3, 3-4, 4-3). Alkmaar's young players are relaxed, with an emphasis on attacking, but they often fall behind—the game is completely unbalanced.
Prediction: The first meeting between the teams ended narrowly (0-4 in favor of AZ), but since then, both teams have noticeably improved their scoring.
