Nec and Champion AZ go head to head in this match from 31-st round of the championschip. Unitil the end of the season there are only 4 games left in whitch both teams have to work hard to accomplish their goals. The hosts are just a little in front of the relegation zone but their survival is far from secure. They are separated by 5 minutes from the teams that are behind them,not so big of a margin in the end of the season. 7 matches without a win including 6 losses in a row definently hurt their chances to be more calm in the remaining games. The team started 2010 great at home getting win after win but thir recen results in front of their home crowd are not that good. Alkmaar on other side is far from what they showed last year in whitch they won the gold medals but they play better and better and have all the chances to secure direct entry to Europa League next season. Their recent form is close to unique,they are on a row of 7 consecutive wins and haven't lost in 10 games. In their last 2 matches they won aginst very tight teams like Utrecht and Heracles. The NEK stadium is hospitable for the guests who have won 5 of the last 6 matches there. I think even it will be hard for AZ to get it through with 1 or even 2 goals. An eventual loss for the home side won't hurt them that much,but loss for AZ could mean they won't have the chance to get direct into Europa League and have to go through Eredivisie Playoffs to reach it whitch the the direction of the club and players don't want to do. I am trying -1 AH simply because 1.57 for AZ win is too low...
Spain Primera Liga
8* Villarreal -1 AH @ 1.80 v Sporting Gijon
Pinnacle
Simply i like very much this match. Villareal have shown a great improvement over the last rounds and thei season can be saved with a Europa league place. They are very close to both Atletic Bilbao and Sevilla for acomplishing that feat. They are healthy and having Pires helps them a lot. They showed better form against Valladolid and can't see their winning ways stopping just now.
