AZ Alkmaar vs PEC Zwolle Match Preview

AZ Alkmaar head into this Eredivisie clash with momentum from a strong run of form. They remain unbeaten in the league after four matches, collecting three wins and a draw. The recent 3–3 thriller against Feyenoord highlighted their attacking firepower against top quality sides.

Also, they strung together victories at Heracles (2–1) and NAC Breda (1–0), as well as a commanding 4–1 home win over Levski Sofia in Europe. The means, by scoring in every game and showing resilience on the road, AZ look like a side building rhythm.

PEC Zwolle, by contrast, are struggling for consistency and they come to this game on the back of three consecutive defeats.

Their latest outing ended in a disappointing 0–2 home loss to Go Ahead Eagles, and they were comfortably beaten 3–1 by Ajax earlier in September.

Despite a couple of clean sheets in early August, the recent trend shows cracks in defense and limited threat in attack, just four goals scored so far in the Eredivisie, while conceding seven.

Head-to-head history strongly favors AZ Alkmaar. They’ve beaten Zwolle in four of the last five meetings, including a 2–0 win at home in February and a 3–0 away victory in September 2023. Even the rare draw (2–2 in January 2024) came when AZ were in control for long spells.
