AZ Alkmaar vs Willem II

AZ host Willem II at AFAS Stadion aiming to extend a perfect start of five wins from five, a run that has them sitting alone atop the Eredivisie. For Willem II, stuck near the bottom with just one point from four matches, this is a chance to halt a worrying slide before it turns into a crisis. The hosts have been ruthless going forward, with Ro-Zangelo Daal among the league's top scorers, though AZ will be missing the injured Denso Kasius and Kees Smit. Willem II have leaked goals all season, most recently in a 3-0 home defeat to Excelsior, and will lean on loan signing Chidozie Obi-Martin for a spark up front, with goalkeeper Thomas Didillon sidelined by a hamstring problem. Given the gulf in form and firepower, the home side should have more than enough quality to make it six wins in a row. Our prediction: 3-0
