Utrecht have struggled lately, losing three of their last five games and managing just one win in that time, which shows they are not in great shape. AZ Alkmaar, meanwhile, have been drawing a lot — four of their last five matches ended level — and they lost the other one, so they are also finding wins hard to come by. Looking at recent meetings between these two, there have been a few high-scoring clashes, including a 4-1 victory for AZ in 2025 and a wild 5-5 draw back in 2023, suggesting their games often produce goals.

With both teams failing to pick up many wins lately, this match looks very close and could easily go either way. Given that Utrecht have been losing more often at home while AZ keep drawing on their travels, a draw feels like the most likely result for this Eredivisie encounter.
