After a few years of absence, ADO Den Haag is back in the Dutch elite, but right in the first round, it faces a serious challenge. The newcomer will visit AZ Alkmaar, which is among the leading names in the league and enters the new campaign in good spirits after a strong performance during the summer preparation.
AZ enters the season with accumulated confidenceAZ Alkmaar did not suffer a single loss in their friendly matches, and a few days ago, they defeated PSV in the match for the Dutch Super Cup. This certainly provides additional confidence before the first home game of the championship. ADO Den Haag showed good performance in the lower tier, but now the level of opponents is different, and it will likely take some time to adapt to the elite.
Prediction: Victory for AZ AlkmaarAZ appears to be the better prepared and more qualified of the two teams, and on top of that, they have the advantage of playing on their own turf. For ADO Den Haag, there couldn't have been a much tougher start after returning to the top tier. I expect the hosts to use their good rhythm from the last few weeks and start the season with a victory.
