AZ Alkmaar will be desperate to end a four-match winless league run when they welcome Groningen to the AFAS Stadion in Eredivisie Round 12 on Sunday. Fifth-placed AZ have won their last five home meetings with the eighth-placed visitors, who are winless in their last four matches across all competitions, losing three, hence our prediction in favor of the hosts.
Lee-Roy Echteld’s side won six of their first seven league games, but a tough run of fixtures has stalled their momentum. They have lost three of their last four league matches, all against top-four opposition, most recently going down 1-0 at Ajax last Saturday.
Notably, AZ have made the most of this fixture in Alkmaar, winning their last five meetings with Groningen there across all competitions. They have also lost just one of their five home league games this season.
Dick Lukkien’s Groningen have struggled for consistency and sit eighth on 15 points. Their week went from bad to worse, as a 2-0 KNVB Cup defeat to second-tier Emmen was followed by a 3-2 home loss to Sparta on Sunday, decided by a mix-up between goalkeeper Etienne Vaessen and Hans Hateboer.
Defensive frailties have been a recurring theme. Groningen have conceded in 10 of their 11 league matches and are winless in their last three (D1, L2), shipping five goals at home to Ajax along the way.

Our AZ Alkmaar vs Groningen Prediction
Groningen arrive low on confidence after a dismal recent run, and their leaky defence could struggle against a hungry AZ side. They have also come unstuck on their recent trips to Alkmaar, losing each of their last five visits..
Meanwhile, AZ will see this as the ideal opportunity to end their winless run after a demanding spell against the league’s elite. With a strong home record and their dominance of this fixture in Alkmaar, the hosts should claim all three points. Our AZ Alkmaar vs Groningen prediction: AZ Alkmaar wins.
