Go Ahead Eagles and AZ Alkmaar face each other in an Eredivisie clash where the visitors still have European qualification firmly in sight. As the Cheese Farmers are brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to Deventer, we predict a 2-1 away win. Go Ahead Eagles sit 11th after a goalless draw with FC Groningen, and their recent form (1.40 PPG) has been patchy but competitive. At home they are more effective (1.67 PPG), scoring 3.00 goals per game on average in recent matches, though defensive uncertainty remains. They may also be without defender Julius Dirksen after injury concerns.
AZ, meanwhile, are in strong shape following a dominant 5–1 Dutch Cup final win over NEC Nijmegen. Their overall form (1.90 PPG) reflects consistency, especially at home, but the Cheese Farmers remain a potent attacking side regardless, averaging 2.30 goals per game and 3.50 total goals per match. Their away form is less convincing, but quality still shines through. No new injury concerns give them stability as they push for European qualification.
Given AZ's superior squad quality and H2H dominance, we are tempted to bet on Away Win, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (consistent high-scoring trend).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Thursday 23 April 2026 at 17:45.
