Utrecht will be looking to bounce back when they welcome AZ in their second Eredivisie game of the season. As both sides look sharp up front, we predict a 2-2 draw. The hosts suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to Groningen in their opener, despite registering seven attempts on target and arguably deserving something from the game. Utrecht have been particularly strong at home recently, winning four of their last five matches at their own stadium and scoring 2.2 goals per game in that run. Defender Siebe Horemans is likely to miss out through injury.
AZ, meanwhile, arrive in confident mood after extending their winning streak to three matches in all competitions with a 2-0 victory over Den Haag. The visitors have scored 2.2 goals per game across their last 10 matches and have failed to score in only two of those outings. There are no fresh injury concerns, while Calvin Stengs is pushing for a starting berth after finding the net as a substitute against Den Haag. The H2H record also promises goals, with 24 of the last 32 meetings producing at least three.
Utrecht are dangerous at home, while AZ have plenty of attacking quality. Therefore, our main prediction leans toward Both Teams to Score. Additionally, Over 2.5 goals (75% H2H) and Over 8.5 corners bets seem tempting.
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday 15 August 2026 at 17:45.
