- AZ在过去的20场比赛中只输了两场
- 赫拉克勒斯是荷甲防守记录最差的球队之一
- AZ在最近八场国内比赛中有六场不失球
奶酪农的成熟表现值得期待
AZ最近一直保持着坚如磐石的状态，在所有比赛的最后20场比赛中只输了两场，在这场杯赛中，他们应该对赫拉克勒斯来说太强大了。
主队在荷甲联赛中只赢了23场联赛中的5场，现在他们在积分榜的错误一端奋力拼搏，可能很难在四分之一决赛中支持他们战胜乌得勒支。
埃尔温·范德卢伊的球队上一次被阿贾克斯以4比0击败，他们将再次失利。
漏洞防御可能是区别所在
安智在联赛中赢得了三场比赛，最近以6比3的总比分将加拉塔萨雷淘汰出了欧联杯。他们还在16强赛中淘汰了阿贾克斯。
前托特纳姆前锋特洛伊·帕罗特对他们的成功起到了不可或缺的作用，他在所有比赛中都进了17个球，他将对赫拉克勒斯的防守垂涎三尺。
在联赛中，只有垫底的两名球员的失球数超过了主队的43个，这与客队形成了鲜明对比，客队在荷甲联赛中的防守记录仅次于阿贾克斯，排名第二。这很可能是这两支球队之间的区别，安智希望再次获胜，晋级决赛。
AZ在过去的八场国内比赛中有六场不失球，可以以2比0的胜利延续这一纪录。
- AZ have only lost two of their last 20 games in all competitions
- Heracles have one of the worst defensive records in the Eredivisie
- AZ have six clean sheets in their last eight domestic matches
Mature performance expected from the Cheese Farmers
AZ have been in rock solid form recently, losing just two of their last 20 games in all competitions, and they should be too strong for Heracles in this cup clash.
The hosts are battling it out at the wrong end of the table in the Eredivisie after winning just five of their 23 league games and may struggle to back up their win over Utrecht in the quarter-finals.
Erwin van de Looi’s men were beaten 4-0 by Ajax last time out and are set to follow that up with another loss.
Leaky defence could be the difference
AZ have won three on the spin in the league and recently dumped Galatasaray out of the Europa League thanks to a 6-3 aggregate success. They also knocked Ajax out of this competition in the round of 16.
Former Tottenham striker Troy Parrott has been integral to their success, with 17 goals in all competitions, and he will be licking his lips against this Heracles defence.
Only the bottom two have conceded more goals than the home side’s 43 in the league and that is in sharp contrast with the visitors, who have the second-best defensive record in the Eredivisie behind Ajax. That could well be the difference between these two teams and AZ are fancied to progress to the final with another win.
AZ have six clean sheets in their last eight domestic games and can extend that with a 2-0 victory.
