The home team is currently in 13th place, with 20 points achieved, after 5 wins, 5 draws, and 8 losses. In their penultimate match, they lost away to Excelsior (2-1). In the last match, they drew away to FC Twente (1-1). In their last 8 home games in the league, Zwolle has recorded 4 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses, gaining 13 points from a possible 24.

In this competition, they have not lost at home for 4 matches. The most frequent results at the end of the first 45′ are 1-0 (3 in 8 matches) and at the end of the match, also 1-0 (3 in 8 matches). The team has allowed goals to their opponents in 8 of the last 10 matches, showing a lack of defensive solidity, but their attack has been scoring consistently, having netted at least one goal in each of their last 10 games in this competition. In their home games, there is a tendency for low scores, as in 5 of the last 8 matches, there were fewer than 3 goals. In 18 games in this competition, they conceded the first goal 10 times and never managed to turn the score around.

Zwolle has underperformed recently, raising concerns even among the most optimistic fans. The team has faced challenges competing at a high level in the Eredivisie. Their 12th position in the table reflects this unstable moment. Without a win in their last two games, repeated mistakes continue to plague the squad. Consistency is lacking to sustain good performances. Now, the challenge increases significantly. Back at home, they face an AZ team that is experiencing a different reality. To score, they will need to overcome limitations and minimize errors.

In the league, AZ secured 13 points from 27 possible after 4 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses in their last 9 away games.

However, their attack has been scoring regularly, finding the net in 9 of their last 10 games in this competition. In 17 matches in this competition, they have failed to come back after conceding the first goal in 7 instances.

AZ is trying to re-establish itself in the Eredivisie after going through a turbulent phase. The team appears to have found its footing on the pitch, which was evident in their eighth victory of the season. Recent performances have brought confidence and a greater team equilibrium. With 28 points and holding 5th place, the prediction looks promising. Still, there is no room for complacency. Playing away, every detail matters. Against a weaker opponent, their approach must be dominant. Maintaining intensity and focus will be essential to confirm their favorites status.
