AZ Alkmaar vs ADO Den Haag preview: AZ are the clear favorites at 1.47
AZ are very much on the up, having gone 2 matches unbeaten in a row. After beating Racing Genk 4-0 at home, they also saw off Olympiakos Piraeus FC 3-2. Leeroy Echteld has done a great job since taking over on 19 January 2026 and this side are much sharper than before.
They've turned the AFAS Stadion in Alkmaar into a real fortress, so ADO Den Haag will have their work cut out to take the spoils in Saturday's Eredivisie 2026-2027 clash in the Netherlands. However, the visitors have been on a roll in all competitions of late, winning 8 of their last 10 and losing just once, so Robin Peter's side will not enter this game with anything less than promotion-era swagger. Our AZ Alkmaar vs ADO Den Haag prediction is that AZ's home edge could prove decisive.
ADO Den Haag are a really live underdog at 6.0
ADO's momentum should not be ignored and they look a good price at 6.0 to beat Alkmaar, who are the overwhelming favorites at 1.47. Den Haag followed up their superb 4-0 away win over Lommel last weekend with a 0-0 draw at home to Asteras Tripolis and they are bringing some serious momentum into this game. These AZ Alkmaar vs ADO Den Haag betting tips point to a competitive contest, but one where the hosts still carry the greater quality.
A clash of control vs chaos could be on the cards here as AZ, who usually line-up in a fluid 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation, tend to try to control possession and dominate through rotations and full-back overlap, while ADO prefer to play compact mid-blocks and to press high up the pitch in a bid to force turnovers and score quickly in transition.
ADO have conceded just 1.00 goals per game away in all competitions, shipping just 5 goals in total, so I doubt that there will be a huge amount of chaos. However, I do believe that AZ can break ADO's first press and that this will open the game up. If they do that, then there will be plenty of opportunity for the visitors to counter-punch as they've done so well in the early going.
Over 2.5 goals should be in play
AZ are averaging 3.14 goals per home game in all competitions and have scored 22 goals in 7 games, so their attack is firing on all cylinders. They can still edge this at the AFAS Stadion, but ADO have won 4 of their last 5 away in all competitions, so they have swagger in the road games too. Another AZ Alkmaar vs ADO Den Haag prediction is that goals could arrive at both ends.
Over 2.5 goals at 1.5 looks a good fit for this match-up and both teams to score at 1.6 also has merit. AZ have drawn 3 of their 7 home games, so the draw also comes into consideration at 4.5.
Mexx Meerdink has scored 2 goals in AZ's last 5 games and looks a lively play in the final third.
