Buoyed by a thrilling 4-0 victory over ten-man PSV in the Dutch Super Cup, AZ Alkmaar will look to carry that momentum into the opening round of the Eredivisie when they host promoted Den Haag. AZ delivered a dominant display to lift the first trophy of the season, impressing with their attacking movement and defensive discipline. Confidence is understandably high in the home camp, while striker Troy Parrott is pushing for a place in the starting XI after making a lively impact as a substitute in the Super Cup. Playing in front of their home supporters, AZ will be determined to make a flying start to another campaign in which they are expected to challenge near the top of the table.
Den Haag, meanwhile, return to the Dutch top flight after an encouraging preseason in which they recorded four wins and one draw. The visitors looked well-organised throughout their preparations and will hope to translate that form into competitive action. Summer signing Lasse Wilhelm is expected to make his official debut and could add extra creativity in the final third. However, facing an in-form AZ side away from home is a daunting task, and the visitors may struggle to cope with the hosts' intensity and attacking quality over ninety minutes.
As AZ should have too much quality for the newcomers, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside AZ Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (AZ are full of confidence after their four-goal Super Cup display).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday 8 August 2026 at 20:00.
