Last season was not the best year for Jong AZ Alkmaar as they ended up at the 17th spot on the table in the Netherlands Eerste Divisie. The AZ reserves will aim for a better performance this term and will face Almere City in the opening match on Monday at AFAS Trainingscomplex.
The host had three defeats within their last five clashes in the campaign from last season. Their previous encounter in any major contest was on the road and they lost to FC Volendam with a 2-1 scoreline. The visitor had scored 56 goals against the 92 conceded in the previous season in Eerste Divisie.
In the meantime, Almere City capped off their previous term league schedule with a defeat. But that was their only loss in the last five clashes in the same. They will visit on the back of that 0-4 loss at home against Nijmegen in the last major competition in their records.

上个赛季对于阿尔克马尔来说并不是最好的一年，他们最终在荷兰东部赛区的积分榜上排名第17。阿斯利康预备队本赛季的目标是有更好的表现，他们将于周一在AFAS训练中心迎战阿尔米尔城队。
东道主在上个赛季以来的五场比赛中已经输了三场。他们之前在任何重大比赛中相遇都是在客场，他们以2-1的比分输给了沃伦丹。在上个赛季的厄斯特甲级联赛中，他打进了56个进球，而在那场比赛中被淘汰了92个球。
与此同时，阿尔米尔城以一场失利结束了他们上个赛季的联赛赛程。但这是他们在过去五次冲突中唯一的失败。他们将在上次主场4 - 0负于奈梅亨的重大比赛后造访。
