AZ Alkmaar welcome PSV Eindhoven at AFAS Stadion, Alkmaar on Saturday, Dec 5 at 8:00 PM in a Eredivisie fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

AZ Alkmaar come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). PSV Eindhoven, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, AZ Alkmaar face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. PSV Eindhoven have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in AZ Alkmaar won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.4 per game in recent meetings.

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