Groningen vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction (22.03.2026)

With two victories over Sparta Prague in the Conference League, AZ Alkmaar secured their advancement in the tournament, and in between, they added a league success over Heracles. Thus, the team enters the upcoming match on a streak of three consecutive victories and with visibly increased confidence.

On paper, Groningen looks like a suitable opponent, as AZ Alkmaar has not lost to this team in the last seven direct encounters, winning six of them. The hosts recently ended a negative streak of six consecutive league defeats with a victory over Ajax, but the draw against Zwolle in the last round again raised doubts about their consistency in form.

Given the good streak, the positive tradition in direct encounters, and the fluctuations of the opponent, my expectations are that the guests will find a way to achieve another success.
