AZ Alkmaar – Juventus

AZ Alkmaar sit comfortably in second place with 20 points after six wins, two draws and a single loss, boasting a 20‑10 goal difference, while Juventus linger in eighth with 11 points from three victories, two draws and two defeats and a modest 9‑8 margin. The Dutch side will host the Italians at the AFAS Stadion, where their strong home record could prove decisive. Juventus will need to close a nine‑point gap to climb back into the European spots, whereas AZ will look to extend their lead over the rest of the table. Their last meeting has already set a compelling narrative for a clash that could reshape the mid‑season standings.
