Double chance : draw or AZ Alkmaar

Groningen is having a tough time lately, with only one win in their last five matches. They have been losing quite a few games recently. AZ Alkmaar is also struggling for form, having lost their last four matches in a row. Both teams are coming into this game not in their best shape.

Looking at recent meetings between these two, AZ Alkmaar has had the upper hand, winning most of the games, and those matches often had several goals. Given both teams' current struggles but AZ's strong record in this fixture, AZ Alkmaar is more likely to win this match.
