Utrecht and AZ Alkmaar set for Eredivisie clash
The Eredivisie season is just beginning, and FC Utrecht and AZ Alkmaar are set to lock horns at Stadion Galgenwaard on Saturday, 15 August 2026, for matchday 2.
FC Utrecht began their league campaign with a 2-1 away defeat to FC Groningen. Prior to that, their pre-season friendly results were mixed, including a loss to Sevilla and wins against Cambuur and V-Varen Nagasaki. The team will be looking to bounce back quickly in front of their home supporters.
AZ Alkmaar, on the other hand, have started their Eredivisie season strongly with a convincing 2-0 victory over ADO Den Haag. Their pre-season also showed positive signs, notably a commanding 4-0 win against Genk and a 3-2 friendly success over Olympiacos. AZ will be aiming to carry this momentum into their second league fixture.
FC Utrecht are facing significant challenges with two high-impact absences due to injury. Vasilios Barkas and Alonzo Engwanda are both unavailable, which could impact the team's defensive and midfield options. The team will need to adapt and find solutions to compensate for these key players' unavailability.
FC Utrecht are expected to line up with a formation featuring Yoann Cathline and David Min in attack, supported by midfielders Angel Alarcon, Joris van Overeem, and Dani de Wit. The defence is likely to consist of Ferdinand Pohl, Arthur Zagre, Mike Eerdhuijzen, Siebe Horemans, and Niklas Vesterlund, with Michael Brouwer in goal.
AZ Alkmaar's expected XI includes Mexx Meerdink and Weslley Pinto as forwards, with Ro-Zangelo Daal, Kees Smit, Peer Koopmeiners, Dave Kwakman, and Lewis Schouten forming the midfield. The defensive unit is anticipated to be Mateo Chavez, Wouter Goes, and Elijah Dijkstra, marshalled by goalkeeper Jari De Busser.
The head-to-head record between FC Utrecht and AZ Alkmaar shows a closely contested rivalry. In their most recent encounter on 1 March 2026, FC Utrecht secured a 2-0 victory. However, AZ Alkmaar had previously won 4-1 on 26 October 2025. The fixture has also seen draws, including a 0-0 stalemate in January 2025 and a thrilling 3-3 draw in May 2024, indicating that matches between these two sides are often unpredictable.
