PSV Eindhoven are heading into this match in a rough patch, having lost two of their last five games, including a heavy 5-1 defeat. They did manage a couple of wins and a draw, but their recent form is shaky. AZ Alkmaar, on the other hand, have been struggling to win, with four draws and a loss in their last five matches, which suggests they are finding it hard to finish games. When these two teams have met in the past, the matches have often been high-scoring affairs, with many games featuring three or more goals.

With PSV playing at home but showing inconsistency, and AZ unable to find a winning formula recently, this match looks like a very close contest. Both teams have the ability to score, but neither is in dominant form, so a draw seems the most likely outcome.
