AZ Alkmaar and Telstar meet in a one-game Dutch Cup semifinal, with AZ entering the clash under pressure after a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Utrecht at the weekend. As Telstar continue to struggle defensively, we predict a 3-0 home win. Injuries to players such as Clasie, Kasius, Maikuma, and Chavez Garcia complicate things for the hosts. Despite that, AZ remain strong at home, averaging 1.83 points per game and scoring 2.00 goals per home match. Their xG numbers (1.57 at home) show they consistently create chances, though defensive issues persist with 1.63 xGA.
Telstar, on the other hand, are high on confidence following a superb 3-0 win over NAC Breda and with no fresh injury concerns. Their matches are full of goals—an average of 3.20 overall—and they have scored in every one of their last five games. However, their defensive record away (2.00 conceded per match) suggests trouble against top-flight opposition. Historically, AZ have dominated this matchup, winning both previous meetings.
Despite Telstar’s momentum, AZ’s quality, depth, and home advantage make them clear favourites to reach the final. Therefore, Home Win is our main betting tip, with additional value on AZ -1.5 and Over 2.5 Goals (Telstar’s games average 3.20 goals; AZ home average is 3.17).
This KNVB Cup match will be played on Wednesday 4 March 2026 at 19:00.
