AZ Alkmaar vs Juventus Prediction, 5 Nov 2026

AZ Alkmaar host Juventus in the UEFA Europa League. Both clubs have shown reasonable form in their recent matches, even if the sample mixes different competitions and friendlies along the way.

This fixture also sits right at the start of the new league-phase format, with each side having played only one game in the competition so far. That leaves plenty of uncertainty about how the rest of their campaigns will shape up before these two meet.

How both sides have been playing

Juventus have won 11, drawn 5 and lost 4 of their last 20 matches across competitions, scoring 27 and conceding 12. That sample stretches back through the spring and includes a number of pre-season friendlies, so it's a broad picture rather than a tight run of league form.

AZ Alkmaar: 20 completed matches; Juventus: 20 completed matches.

AZ Alkmaar's equivalent set shows 11 wins, 7 draws and just 2 losses from 20 games, with a much busier scoreline at 46 goals for and 22 against. They've clearly been involved in some high-scoring matches, home and away, though again the sample blends Eredivisie games with cup and friendly fixtures.

Both teams have solid overall records, but AZ's involvement in high-scoring games suggests their matches rarely stay quiet.

Early days in this Europa League group

With just one match played each in this season's league phase, Juventus sit top with a 3-0 win, while AZ Alkmaar are down near the bottom of this partial table after a narrow 0-1 defeat. It's a tiny sample, though, and one result either way can shift things quickly at this stage.

№	Team	Played	Win	Draw	Loss	GF/GA	Points
1	Juventus	1	1	0	0	5/0	3
2	Crystal Palace	1	1	0	0	4/0	3
3	Sparta Praha	1	1	0	0	4/1	3

25	Celta Vigo	1	0	0	1	0/1	0
26	AZ Alkmaar	1	0	0	1	0/1	0
27	Levski Sofia	1	0	0	1	0/1	0

This isn't a full continental table, so it only tells us where these two clubs stand relative to each other right now, not their overall European pedigree this term.

One game in, Juventus have the better start, but there's a long way to go before this phase settles.

Early contributors to watch

In Juventus's single Europa League outing so far, Randal Kolo Muani got on the scoresheet and Weston McKennie chipped in with an assist. It's a small sample from just one appearance, but it shows where some of the early attacking contribution has come from.

Juventus:

Best scorers:

R. Kolo Muani - 1

Best assist providers:

There just isn't enough here yet to back a particular outcome with confidence. Juventus have made the stronger start in this Europa League phase and arrive with a wider overall sample of wins, but AZ Alkmaar's high-scoring recent games suggest they're no pushover either.

Without any market information to weigh up, and with so much time left before this one is played, it makes sense to hold off rather than force a selection.
