The fight for European football has never been tighter in the Eredivisie than in the final chapter of this season. There are eight European spots, with the visiting AZ Alkmaar holding one in 6th place. Meanwhile, the hosts, Go Ahead Eagles, desperately hunt for eight points that would also put them in the qualification playoffs. Check out our match prediction below.
AZ Alkmaar just decimated NEC 5-1 to win the KNVB beker cup final, which should serve as compensation after just exiting the quarter-final of the UEFA Conference League to Shakhtar. With a cup in hand and the 6th spot in Matchday 31, De Kaasboeren (The Cheese Farmers) are bidding on another European appearance next season.
And they’ll be gunning for an even higher stage as only seven points separate them and the 2nd-placed Feyenoord. But in their way on Thursday is a GA Eagles side that held them to a 2-2 draw earlier this season. For Kowet, the past few weeks have been turbulent, marked with a lot of losses and draws with sparse wins.
They’ve just drawn Groningen 0-0 after their absolute dominance in the 5-0 thrashing of Zwolle. However, that only marks four wins for Kowet in their last 15 games in all competitions. Still, with European football within reach, GA will make this game anything but easy for Alkmaar.
