Prediction

  • AZ is currently in second place with 16 points, just two points behind the leading team, PSV, after playing six matches. In their last Eredivisie match, AZ won 2-1 against PEC Zwolle at MAC³PARK Stadion, maintaining their undefeated streak with five wins, one draw, and zero losses so far this season.
  • Utrecht secured a 3-2 victory over Willem II in their last league match, extending their unbeaten start to the season with four wins, one draw, and no losses.
  • The last time these two teams met in the Eredivisie was in the 2023/2024 season at AFAS Stadion, resulting in a 3-3 draw. Scoring for AZ were Mees de Wit, Ruben van Bommel, and Vangelis Pavlidis, while Othmane Boussaid, Sam Lammers, and Victor Jensen scored for Utrecht.
  • AZ has had the upper hand in recent encounters, being unbeaten in their last six Eredivisie matches against Utrecht, with two wins and four draws. Utrecht is seeking their first league win against AZ since January 2021. During their unbeaten streak, AZ has outscored Utrecht 18-13.
  • Ibrahim Sadiq and Troy Parrott have been standout players for AZ this season, each scoring four goals, which is tied for the second highest in the league's scoring charts for the 2024/2025 season. Sadiq has scored the opening goal of the match twice. On the other hand, Utrecht's top scorer has been Noah Ohio, finding the net three times.
  • AZ has won both of their previous Eredivisie matches at AFAS Stadion this season and is aiming to extend their eight-match unbeaten streak at home, with seven wins, one draw, and no losses, dating back to February 25 when they played against Ajax. Utrecht has one win and one draw in their two away league contests this season, and they are looking to extend their five-match unbeaten streak away from home, with two wins and three draws, without any losses since March 31 against Feyenoord.
