Zwolle aim to return to winning ways following a 1-1 draw against Twente, but the hosts remain weakened by injuries to Schendelaar and Velanas. As AZ Alkmaar are brimming with confidence following the 6-0 crushing of Ajax, we predict a 3-1 away win. Zwolle's home form has been one of their biggest assets this season, averaging 2.25 points per game and winning 75% of their matches on home soil. The hosts also score consistently, finding the net in almost every league game so far, though their defensive problems persist with 2.40 goals conceded per match overall.
AZ Alkmaar head into the match full of confidence after a historic 6-0 Dutch Cup demolition of Ajax, and Maarten Martens’ side have no fresh injury concerns. With 2.10 goals scored per match and clean sheets in 50% of their league fixtures, AZ look well-balanced. Their away numbers (1.20 PPG, 2.00 goals scored) remain solid, although occasional lapses at the back persist.
Historical data strongly favors the visitors: AZ have won 18 of the last 29 meetings, while Zwolle have claimed only two victories. Goals are common in this fixture, with 62% BTTS and 62% over 2.5 goals. Therefore, these betting options should be considered, alongside Away Win.
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday 17 January 2026 at 17:45.
