Marco van Basten`s team did not finish well the last season in the Dutch Eredivisie, as Heerenveen recorded 5 consecutive losses.

Last week AZ Alkmaar showed good football at the Supercup final against Ajax and was very close to winning it, but let a turn around after an advantage of two goals. Nevertheless, it that match, the team demonstrated that it has the strength to fight for a higher ranking this season.
The previous meeting between these two teams ended in an impressive away victory for AZ with 0-4. Heerenveen on the other hand, also has a remarkable victory against this rival, defeating AZ with 5-1 in front of own audience in season 2011/2012. In the history of the clashes between these two teams there are some other impressive results(4:0, 2:4, 5:0, 3:3). It is not excluded that we might witness once more a game with a lot of goals.
