Jong AZ vs Jong PSV Top Odds and Picks
Two young teams AZ Alkmaar and PSV Eindhoven will meet in this matchup of talented teams.
Under 2.5 Goals
Out of all U21 teams that are represented in the Dutch Second Division, AZ Alkmaar has produced the best results this season. It may be uncommon for such a young team in a senior football league, but AZ has the best defense in the league alongside Zwolle and Willem II. They have allowed only 19 goals. In h2h meetings between AZ and PSV U21 teams, the last two matches ended with fewer than three goals scored.
Both Teams to Score – No
Once again, with the way AZ is defending, it is going to be tricky for PSV youngsters to break through the ranks. The last three games from these teams ended without both team scoring a goal.
Jong AZ to Win
Even though winning won’t get them promotion into the Eredivisie for obvious reasons, Jong AZ wants to fulfill their great potential and make the best possible result for themselves. They are playing terrific football and will be the favorites against their PSV counterparts.
Jong AZ vs Jong PSV Preview: Looking to improve
Jong AZ
Even though this is a U21 team on paper, the average age of this team is 19 years. It’s a massive squad of 29 players, and complimentary to the AZ Alkmaar’s youth program, there are only two foreign players in the team, with the rest being the result of great national scouting from Alkmaar’s management department. Several talented players can be named here, but Soulyman Allouch is at the top of the list. He was born in Amsterdam, however, he is of Moroccan descent and chose to represent the African country. He currently plays for their U23 setup. There is still a chance that he could change his mind, but for now, that isn’t happening. This season he is the best AZ scorer with five goals, but also their top creator of chances with five. Iman Griffith is right next to him efficiency-wise with four goals and assists apiece.
Jong PSV
PSV squad is a bit younger than their opponents, their average age is 18.8, but the big difference is that they have ten foreign players, which is almost the third of the entire squad. That is not a surprise because PSV has one of the best scouting departments in European football, their network expands all over the world, and the way they train these young players, and give them chances in the first team, speaks volumes about how this big club operates. This season, when it comes to Jong PSV, it’s strange to see a center-back, Henson Seelt as their top scorer. There is no forward player in their top five goalscorers.
