Go Ahead Eagles welcome AZ Alkmaar at De Adelaarshorst, Deventer on Sunday, Jan 17 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.
Go Ahead Eagles come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). AZ Alkmaar travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Go Ahead Eagles won their last outing, while AZ Alkmaar suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
Despite playing at home, Go Ahead Eagles face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. AZ Alkmaar have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Go Ahead Eagles won 2–5. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Go Ahead Eagles a slight edge, but AZ Alkmaar are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
