An exciting evening awaits at Euroborg as Groningen take on high-flying AZ Alkmaar. As AZ are brimming with confidence following a 4-0 win over Heracles, we predict a 3-1 away triumph. The Green and White Army enter the match after a 1-1 draw with Zwolle, extending a frustrating run of just 2 wins in their last 10 matches. Groningen continue to struggle in both boxes, scoring only 1.20 goals per game while conceding 1.50, although BTTS has landed in 70% of their recent fixtures due to their persistent defensive lapses.
The Cheese Farmers, meanwhile, look sharp again after the aforementioned win over Heracles. AZ Alkmaar have collected 1.90 points per game across their last 10 outings and boast an impressive 83% home win rate, though their away record has been less convincing. Still, AZ average 1.90 goals per match, supported by a strong xG of 1.60, and their attacking depth should trouble Groningen’s shaky back line. Forward Ro-Zangelo Daal unlikely to feature for the visitors, but they have strength in depth.
Considering that AZ's superior form and quality give them the clear edge, punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Away Win, alongside AZ Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (both teams see high-scoring matches and AZ create plenty).
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Sunday 22 March 2026 at 15:45.
