AZ Alkmaar – PEC Zwolle

AZ Alkmaar host a struggling PEC Zwolle in what promises to be a stark contrast in form. Sitting second in the table with 16 points from five wins and a draw, the Dutch side have already scored 17 goals while conceding just six. Zwolle, languishing 16th with only four points after one win and one draw, have been porous, netting six and letting in 17. The head‑to‑head record this season heavily favors the hosts, and the gap in both points and goal difference suggests AZ will enter the match as clear favourites. A victory for the home side would further cement their push for the title, while Zwolle will be desperate for any points to avoid the relegation zone.
