AZ Alkmaar welcome PEC Zwolle at AFAS Stadion, Alkmaar on Sunday, May 16 at 2:30 PM in a Eredivisie fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

AZ Alkmaar come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). PEC Zwolle travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours AZ Alkmaar here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against PEC Zwolle, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in AZ Alkmaar won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives AZ Alkmaar a slight edge, but PEC Zwolle are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
