AZ vs Groningen H2H Stats, Lineups and Live Stream

Preview

In Eredivisie action, AZ meet Groningen on May 11. Kickoff is scheduled for 14:45 UTC.

Fans are eager for the showdown as AZ and Groningen renew their battle, 5 months after their National Cup encounter that concluded in a 3-1 victory for AZ. AZ come into the match following a draw against NAC on April 24 in the Eredivisie. Before facing Groningen, they will face Go Ahead Eagles in Eredivisie, and how they perform in this game could set the tone for their encounter with Groningen. If they hope to shift momentum in their favor, addressing defensive lapses will be essential, given that they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last eight matches.

Groningen, fresh off a win against Heracles Almelo, approach this match eager to continue their positive form. Despite this, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have allowed goals in ten consecutive away matches. Groningen’s upcoming schedule leading up to AZ features RKC in Eredivisie, a fixture that is likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with AZ.

This Eredivisie clash features attacking talents who have defined the campaigns of AZ and Groningen. AZ’s attacking options, with Maarten Martens at the helm, have been bolstered by Troy Parrott, the team’s top scorer, and Sven Mijnans, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Parrott has already scored fourteen goals in Eredivisie this season, with Wolfe leading their creative tally in the league with five assists. Ibrahim Sadiq, Mexx Meerdink and Ruben Van Bommel have supported the attack well, combining for important goals and assists throughout the campaign.

Meanwhile, Groningen’s Luciano Valente and Leandro Bacuna have played important roles in ensuring their attack, crafted under Dick Lukkien’s leadership, remains effective. Groningen’s top scorer in Eredivisie, Schreuders, has five goals this season, while Valente has been their leading creator in the competition with five assists. Groningen’s offense has also been strengthened by Thom Van Bergen, Brynjolfur Andersen Willumsson and Stije Resink, who have provided crucial contributions in the final third.
