Betting tip and prediction for this match between AZ and Groningen

The best prediction for AZ vs Groningen in the Eredivisie is a victory for AZ. The home team is favoured to secure the three points, and while Groningen may challenge them, AZ’s quality and the advantage of playing at home should see them prevail. Their robust squad is more than capable of controlling the match.

Match preview: AZ vs Groningen

AZ and Groningen meet at the Away Stadion for the 32nd round of the Eredivisie. Their last encounter ended in a goalless draw on 25-08-2024. Historically at this venue, the home team has a favourable record with 2 wins and 1 loss in their last 3 meetings. The most recent clash at this stadium took place on 11-03-2023, where AZ emerged victorious with a 1-0 scoreline, the sole goal courtesy of Jesper Karlsson (4’). Home advantage might play a significant role, given the notable disparities in performance between both teams in home and away contexts.

Team analysis: AZ

The home team currently occupies 6th place, having amassed 47 points from 14 wins, 8 draws, and 9 losses. In their penultimate match, they drew 1-1 at home against Nac Breda, followed by a convincing 3-0 win against GO Ahead Eagles. They are typically far more formidable at home, recording 10 wins, 3 draws, and just 2 losses in front of their own supporters. In their last 10 home league matches, AZ has accumulated 17 points, with the most common halftime score being 0-0 (6 times from 15 games). While their defence has shown vulnerabilities, conceding goals in 7 of their last 10 matches, their attack has been consistent, scoring in 8 of those encounters. In 31 league outings, they’ve managed to recover only once after going behind, having lost the initial lead in 9 matches.

AZ Alkmaar approaches this fixture with renewed confidence following an emphatic victory in their last match, solidifying their place in the playoffs that could lead to a spot in the conference league. They aim to continue their positive momentum and maintain an edge heading into the knockout stages. Taking to the pitch at home, they tend to dictate play, using their fan support to fuel another triumph. Their efficient attack and balanced tactics elevate their confidence levels. Despite already securing qualification, they will not relent and must maintain their intensity to convert potential into results on the field.

Team analysis: Groningen

The visiting side currently stands in 11th place, having gained 35 points with 10 wins, 8 draws, and 13 losses. In their previous match, they secured a 4-1 victory at home against Heracles Almelo and followed it up with a commanding 6-1 win over RKC Waalwijk. They have fared better at home, with only 2 wins, 3 draws, and 10 losses in their last 30 matches as guests, compared to 7 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses at home. Their last away fixture saw them succumb to FC Utrecht with a 3-1 loss. In their last 10 league fixtures, Groningen has recorded just 1 win, alongside 2 draws and 7 defeats, gathering only 5 points from a possible 30. Defensively, they have struggled considerably, conceding in 9 of their last 10 games. However, they have consistently found the back of the net, scoring in each of their last 10 encounters in this competition. In 31 matches, they have never come back to win after conceding first, lacking in resilience.

After a dominant win in their last outing, Groningen arrives brimming with motivation as they strive for playoff contention. They recognise the need to garner points in this closing chapter of the season, treating this match as crucial. Even away from their own ground, they must adopt a competitive attitude, aiming to balance play while seeking to catch their opponents off guard. A solid defensive performance combined with effective counter-attacking will be vital for securing a positive result. Although confidence has grown following their last victory, the pressure will be high. A draw could prove valuable, but their ambitions stretch beyond that.
