AZ v Go Ahead Eagles: perfect start meets unbeaten surge in Eredivisie top-two clash | OneFootball

AZ host Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie on 29 August 2026 in Alkmaar, with the leaders defending a perfect start against the second placed visitors in an early top two test.

AZ are first with three wins and a goal difference of plus seven, while Go Ahead Eagles are unbeaten on seven points after three games, setting up an early marker at the top.

AZ have scored eight and conceded one, with 59% possession and 86.15% passing accuracy across the opening three league games. The Supereagles have netted nine and conceded four, drawing at Feyenoord and winning twice.

AZ list defenders Mees de Wit, Denso Kasius and Elijah Dijkstra, plus midfielder Matej Šín, as injured. For the Supereagles, defenders Gerrit Nauber, Tomas Galvez and Pim Saathof are sidelined.

AZ's control, two clean sheets and 46 attempts suggest they could look to impose the game. Jizz Hornkamp has two league goals, while creators Kees Smit and Mateo Chávez have two assists each. The Supereagles deliver frequent crosses from open play, with 58 so far at 22.41% accuracy and two headed goals, so service to Soren Tengstedt, joint top of the Eredivisie scoring chart on three, could be a route.

A home win would take AZ to 12 points and could tighten their grip on first place. Victory for the Supereagles would move them to 10 points and could send them top after four games.
