AZ Alkmaar vs Groningen Prediction (10.08.2025)

AZ Alkmaar start the new season in Eredivisie with a home match against Groningen and will strive to continue their good series against this opponent. Last season was filled with ups and downs, but the squad has not undergone serious changes and the goal again will be the top positions. In the Conference League, the team showed a strong reaction after the loss in Finland, crushing Ilves 5-0 in the rematch.

Groningen returned to the elite last season and finished low in the table, but now they will have to cope without their key striker, who moved to Feyenoord. Their friendlies brought four victories, but against modest opponents, and the only more serious test against NEC Nijmegen ended in defeat. Last season they were among the weakest away teams in the league.

AZ convincingly won the last two clashes between the two teams and have now gone six consecutive matches without a loss in this rivalry. Considering their home advantage and Groningen's weak form as guests, I expect another success for the hosts.
