Groningen vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction & Betting Tips

Groningen vs AZ Alkmaar Preview

Groningen has shown they can be giant-killers after that impressive victory against Ajax at home. While their overall form has been shaky, they seem to find an extra gear when playing in front of their own supporters. They will need every bit of that energy to stop a clinical AZ attack.

The home team has struggled with consistency throughout the season, often failing to string together back to back wins. Their defense has been leaky, conceding in almost all of their recent fixtures. They’ll have to be perfectly disciplined to avoid getting caught out on the counter.

AZ Alkmaar looks like the much sharper side right now, especially after their four goal performance last week. They have a history of dominating this fixture, winning most of their recent head to head meetings quite convincingly. Their confidence should be sky high heading into this trip.

The visitors have plenty of attacking options that can hurt Groningen from multiple angles. While their recent away results weren’t perfect, they have the quality to bounce back against a struggling side. Expect them to be very aggressive in the final third.

Groningen vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction

We are backing AZ Alkmaar to take all three points in this matchup. They have far more quality across the pitch and their recent scoring form suggests they will be too much for the Groningen defense to handle. Even with the home advantage, it is hard to see the hosts stopping a side that just put four past their last opponent.

A 2-1 win for AZ Alkmaar seems like the most likely scoreline for this encounter. Groningen usually manages to scrap for a goal at home, but AZ has the experience to see out a close game and take the win. It fits the pattern of both teams’ recent results where they both score but the stronger side edges it out.
