AZ Alkmaar welcome AFC Ajax, Eredivisie champs three years running, to the AFAS Stadion in Alkmaar this Sunday. After a 4-2 defeat the previous week AZ will be looking to limit their opponents shot attempts and possibly not lose possession so much. Ajax on the other hand… well, they’ll want more of the same please.
Although the season is only in its second week we may already know what to expect from these two clubs. With Ajax not yet losing any of the big names that were discussed this summer they can only continue on the same path. Of their 747 passes last week, 87% (655) were short passes, at an average unbroken pass streak of 7. Admittedly this was against a weaker opponent than AZ. Yet the fact that they were only dispossessed 5 times boggles the mind. Meanwhile AZ faced a club that isn’t nearly as proficient in close quarters and rely more on crosses than Ajax do. Combine that with the unfamiliarity of AZ’s new center back pairing and the Amsterdam squad could run riot on Sunday.
Something else that could be very significant, AZ’s forwards and midfield only made 2 interceptions in their previous match against Heerenveen. They relied on their defense to stop the Super Frisian’s attack. Allow Ajax’s forwards to roam free into the final third of the pitch like that and the only logical result will be goals.
Alkmaar did find some positives within last weeks 4-2 loss. American forward Aron Jóhannsson has scored a goal and assisted on another. Couple that with the goal he scored against Ajax two weeks ago in the Super Cup and he looks the real deal. The other bright spot for AZ has been twenty one year old midfielder Nemanja Gudelj. Joining from NAC Breda in July he has slotted right into a starting position. He was the only non-defender that attempted more than 30 passes and finished with an 82% success rate.
Luckily there are no key injuries being reported for either squad, this will allow us to see the two clubs as they are meant to be this year.
