AZ Alkmaar vs FC Groningen Prediction 21 December 2021

The eighteenth round of Eredivisie will give us an interesting confrontation between AZ and Groningen.

AZ failed the start of the current campaign, but closer to the middle of it, they nevertheless gained optimal condition. After successful games with Vitesse (0:0), Fortuna (2:1), Sparta (3:1), Ajax (2:1) and Willem II (4:1) the Cheese Farmers ascended to the sixth line of the tournament table with 29 points in the asset and the statistics of goals of 34:23.

Groningen's indicators are much more modest - twelfth position, 19 points and goals 20:26. Back in late autumn, the Greens got away victories over Go Ahead Eagles (1:0) and Fortuna (4:1). But winter is not going well for them. As a result, the 1:1 draw with Zwolle and 1:1 with Feyenoord, as well as a 2:4 defeat from Heracles.

At the moment, the level of AZ is much higher, and with the support of native stands, they are simply unstoppable. We very much doubt the ability of the frankly mediocre Groningen to impose at least some kind of competition on the Alkmaarders.
