SC Cambuur vs AZ Alkmaar prediction, odds and how to watch

Sunderland edged AZ Alkmaar 1-0 in the UEFA Europa League thanks to a 66th-minute Enzo Le Fée penalty, grinding out a result despite the Dutch side controlling the ball for the majority of the match.

SC Cambuur put NEC Nijmegen to the sword with a commanding 3-0 victory, with Ilyes Hamache scoring twice and substitute Iwan Henstra adding a late third. NEC's wretched evening was compounded by four yellow cards and a defensive display that had no backbone whatsoever.

AZ Alkmaar dominated possession and created chance after chance but could not hold on, as Willem II snatched a deserved point through Devin Haen's 81st-minute finish to end the hosts' perfect Eredivisie run.

AZ Alkmaar put five past GO Ahead Eagles at home in the Eredivisie, with Ro-Zangelo Daal grabbing a brace as the hosts controlled the game from start to finish. GO Ahead arrived with injury problems and left with their defensive standards exposed.

SC Cambuur have shipped 14 goals in their last five Eredivisie matches and now face an AZ Alkmaar side that has not lost in ten. This is not a fixture for the faint-hearted, and the evidence points firmly in one direction.

AZ Alkmaar host Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday with both sides desperate for their first win of the competition. Neither team has convinced so far. One of them has to step up.

Sunday's Eredivisie clash at PEC Zwolle pits two sides desperate for points against each other, with Cambuur yet to win in five attempts and Zwolle leaking goals at an alarming rate. Something has to give.

Two of the Eredivisie's form sides collide in Rotterdam on Saturday, with neither Feyenoord nor AZ Alkmaar having tasted defeat in their last ten completed league matches. Something has to give.
