Match preview

AZ Alkmaar visit Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday afternoon in the Eredivisie.

Sparta Rotterdam have won three, drawn three and lost six of their 12 league games this season, scoring 21 and conceding 29. They tend to be in open games: both sides have scored in ten of their 12. The hosts rarely play in tight games: 11 of their 12 have had three goals or more.

AZ Alkmaar have taken ten points from six away games, letting in eight. This season the visitors have seven wins, two draws and three defeats from 12 league matches, a goal difference of +8. Recent form is mixed, with one win, one draw and three defeats in the last five; they won 4–3 at home to FC Groningen in their latest game.

AZ Alkmaar have won both of their last two visits to Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel. The last meeting there, in November 2025, went the way of AZ.

A 1–1 draw is the AI's most likely score, and it expects both teams to score. That fits the season so far: both teams have found the net in most of either side's league games. Kick-off is at 13:30 UK time.
