Looking at the last head-to-head games between Go Ahead Eagles and PEC Zwolle, many games ended in a draw, suggesting a potentially close match.
AZ Alkmaar, despite the win, has had a mixed bag of results recently, including draws and losses. Their next game is against FC Groningen, who are coming off two high-scoring victories. AZ Alkmaar's defense will need to be solid to contain Groningen's in-form attack. The recent head-to-head record favors AZ Alkmaar, but Groningen's recent goal-scoring form could pose a significant challenge.
Looking at the previous games, Go Ahead Eagles have struggled to convert possession into goals. AZ Alkmaar's ability to capitalize on fewer possession, as seen in this match, is a pattern that could continue. The last time these two teams met in the league, it resulted in a 2-2 draw.
