Prediction

  • Groningen sits in third place on six points, level on points with first-placed PSV after two matches. Groningen won their last Eredivisie match 2-1 against RKC Waalwijk.
  • AZ defeated NEC 1-0 at home in its last league match.
  • The previous Eredivisie fixture between the teams saw AZ come out on top 1-0 at AFAS Stadion in March 2023. Jesper Karlsson scored for the Alkmaarders in the fourth minute.
  • AZ has gotten the better of Groningen of late with wins in three straight clashes, dating to December 2021. AZ have outscored Groningen 6-1 during their winning streak.
  • Jorg Schreuders has caught the eye for Groningen this season. He is the club's top scorer with two goals, one of those having been the critical first of the match.
  • Sven Mijnans and Ibrahim Sadiq are AZ's leading scorers, each scoring once.
