AZ trainer Leeroy Echteld is expecting a challenging match against FC Twente on Sunday, as the two teams share similarities in their playing style. Echteld, who has previously worked with FC Twente's trainer John van den Brom, believes that FC Twente is a well-oiled team that can easily score goals. He is anticipating a tough match against the Eredivisie team.
Echteld's comments come after AZ's 0-4 win over FC Ararat-Armenia in the Conference League on Thursday. Despite the convincing win, Echteld felt that his team started slowly, but managed to turn the game around and score four good goals. AZ will be without Jizz Hornkamp, Jeroen Zoet and Kees Smit on Sunday, and there are still doubts over the availability of Jordy Clasie and Wouter Goes. Clasie has had a good training week, but Goes' fitness is still being evaluated daily.
