Utrecht welcome AZ Alkmaar in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday's program, with 1-2 our predicted outcome. Utrecht drew 1-1 with Zwolle and enter this round with no fresh injury worries, giving coach the freedom to keep the same lineup. However, their home form remains a major concern: they average only 0.20 points per game at Stadion Galgenwaard, have failed to score in 60% of home matches, and concede 1.40 goals per home game. Their overall xG of 1.47 suggests they often create but lack clinical finishing.
AZ Alkmaar, meanwhile, head into Sunday's game in stronger shape after a convincing 3-1 win over Sparta Rotterdam, though defender Wouter Goes is unlikely to feature. AZ’s away form is solid, with 1.50 points per game, conceding just 1.25 goals per match, supported by an away xGA of 1.24—showing good defensive stability. The Cheese Farmers also have a 50% win rate both home and away and historically match up evenly with Utrecht (11 wins each across 31 meetings).
With Utrecht’s home struggles and AZ’s superior balance, the visitors hold a slight edge. Therefore, our prediction firmly points toward a 2-1 away win, alongside Over 2.5 goals (77% of H2Hs finish with 3+ goals), and AZ Over 1.5.
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Sunday 1 March 2026 at 15:45.
