AZ Alkmaar look to capitalise on momentum against Telstar
Ro-Zangelo Daal enters this clash at the AFAS Stadion in scintillating form, having netted five goals in his last seven appearances for AZ Alkmaar. His ability to find pockets of space has been a cornerstone of the side’s recent attacking displays, and he will be the primary threat for the visitors to contain this Sunday.
AZ Alkmaar’s midfield, expected to be anchored by the experienced Jordy Clasie alongside Dave Kwakman and Peer Koopmeiners, has provided a stable platform for their forward line. With Mexx Meerdink also showing sharp form, having been involved in five goals across the last ten matches, the home side possesses multiple avenues to goal. Their tactical setup appears designed to dominate possession and transition quickly into the final third.
Telstar arrive at the AFAS Stadion looking to improve their consistency after a challenging run in the Eredivisie. Their expected defensive unit, led by Marvin Peersman and Sem Valk, will need to remain disciplined, particularly as the match progresses. Recent analysis of their play shows a tendency to concede late in matches, with five goals allowed after the 75th minute in their last ten outings.
AZ Alkmaar have maintained a strong rhythm in the Eredivisie, including a notable 5-2 win over Go Ahead Eagles and a 3-2 victory against SC Heerenveen in recent weeks. While they were held to a draw by Willem II in their most recent outing, their overall momentum remains positive. History also favours the hosts, who secured a 2-1 win over Telstar in the KNVB Cup back in March 2026.
For Telstar, the focus will likely be on disrupting the rhythm of the AZ midfield and utilizing the pace of Patrick Brouwer and Rui Mendes on the counter-attack. If they can keep the match tight in the opening exchanges, they may find opportunities to exploit gaps left by an adventurous AZ side. However, the hosts' ability to rotate their attacking threats, including the creative presence of Calvin Stengs, suggests that Telstar will have to be at their absolute best to leave with a result on matchday 7.
