Jong AZ and FC Den Bosch have met several times in the past few years, and most of those results ended with no clear edge for either side - two 0-0 draws and another 2-2. But this time the shape of the two teams looks different, especially the home side, who are scoring more consistently than they used to. Jong AZ have won 3 of their last 5 league games, losing just once, and in their latest match they thrashed the opposition 4-1 at home. FC Den Bosch, meanwhile, still have not found their rhythm, winning just once over the same stretch and losing three. The visitors' attack relies more on counter-attacks than on long spells of possession. If Jong AZ can take the lead first, the game is likely to flow the home side's way as they dominate the ball and probe for openings. FC Den Bosch will need their counter-attacks to pay off. If the game drags on without a goal, it could become a grind for the home side, who would have to slowly break down a defence sitting deeper and deeper.
