Danny Buijs has Fortuna Sittard playing a 4-3-3 formation, where they press high, look to win the ball back quickly and then transition into the attack as fast as possible. This system works best when their players are fit and ready to play at high-tempo, which they are, as indicated by their last 2 results, a 2-1 home win over APOEL Nicosia FC followed by a 2-2 away draw at PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie 2026/2027.

AZ are on a mission

Leeroy Echteld has AZ playing a pro-active brand of soccer, where they look to dominate the ball, attack through the full-backs and press the opposition in a structured high press. This style has certainly worked in their favour and they have been deadly on the road so far, scoring 4.00 goals and conceding 1.00.
Mexx Meerdink has been a nuisance in the attacking third for AZ, scoring 3 of their 7 goals in their last 5 games. Ayoub Oufkir is AZ's top scorer in the Eredivisie 2026/2027 with 1 goal in 2 games, while Kees Smit has supplied 2 assists in 2 Eredivisie 2026/2027 appearances.
Fortuna's top goal-scorer in the Eredivisie 2026/2027 is Edouard Michut, who has 1 goal in 1 appearance, but they will need to find the net again here to have a chance of taking something from this game.
Fortuna are unbeaten in their last 2 home games (W2, L0) and AZ have won their only game away in the Eredivisie 2026/2027. The recent H2H is split with 1 win each over the last 2 meetings, but a Fortuna Sittard vs AZ Alkmaar matchup still leans toward AZ after they won 2-0 at home in the last Eredivisie 2025/2026 encounter.
