The AI's pre-game prediction of a Feyenoord win proved accurate, although the model expected a balanced game. The AI predicted a 37.9% chance of a Feyenoord win, compared to 34.6% for AZ Alkmaar and 27.5% for a draw.
AZ Alkmaar's recent form has been inconsistent, with a string of draws in the Eredivisie and a loss in the UEFA Europa League against Tottenham Hotspur, highlighting potential defensive frailties. In contrast, Feyenoord has been in strong form domestically, winning their last two Eredivisie matches convincingly, although they did lose both legs of their Champions League tie against Internazionale.
Looking ahead, AZ Alkmaar faces Heracles Almelo on April 13th. Heracles have shown decent form at home, winning two of their last five games, including a recent victory against FC Twente. However, AZ Alkmaar will be hoping to improve their form and capitalize on their higher team rating. Feyenoord will travel to Fortuna Sittard on April 12th. Feyenoord will be considered strong favorites, given Fortuna Sittard's recent struggles, including a heavy defeat against Sparta Rotterdam and recent head-to-head results.
Analyzing the previous encounters between AZ Alkmaar and Feyenoord, Feyenoord has had the upper hand recently, winning four of the last five matches, including a 1-0 victory earlier in the season. AZ Alkmaar recent games are full of draws. Feyenoord previous games show that this team is in good shape.
