AZ Alkmaar will host Go Ahead Eagles at the AFAS Stadion on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 Eredivisie campaign. Despite positive results in both the cup and in Europe, the home side have lost their footing in the league and now sit fourth in the Eredivisie, 13 points off the top.
AZ slipped to a third straight league defeat last weekend as they fell 1-0 to Twente, with Ireland international Troy Parrott firing a 99th-minute penalty over the bar that would have rescued a point. They did, however, return to winning ways on Wednesday with a 3-1 victory away at PEC Zwolle in the KNVB Beker, where captain Sven Mijnans led the way with a second-half brace.
Thanks for the submission!
Go Ahead Eagles also endured a difficult November and remain outside the qualification playoff spots. However, they claimed a valuable point in their 2-2 draw with Utrecht last time out, having fallen two goals behind in the second half before late strikes from Mathis Suray and Richonell Margaret rescued a result for Kowet.
The visitors sit 10th in the table with 17 points from 14 matches and will be desperate for a win on the road this weekend.

AZ Alkmaar vs Go Ahead Eagles Prediction
De Kaasboeren have won two of their last three matches but have also suffered four defeats in their last six. Despite their inconsistent form, they remain strong favorites ahead of the weekend clash, having lost just once at home all season, and will be looking to justify that status.
The Pride of the IJssel, meanwhile, are winless in their last three outings and have picked up just one win in their last six. Their away form has been particularly troubling, with defeats in each of their last four games on the road, and those struggles could persist on Sunday.
