Twente's equivalent sample shows twelve wins, four draws and four losses, with 45 goals for and 23 against. Their last five outings have actually been strong, three wins including one over PSV Eindhoven, though a couple of chunky European defeats earlier in the run show they can be opened up too.

Both teams look capable of scoring goals based on these samples, but neither has been fully settled either.

Comparative Team Statistics: AZ Alkmaar vs Twente

Head-to-head

These two have met plenty of times over the years, and the recent meetings haven't followed any clear pattern. Their last Eredivisie clash finished 2-2 at AZ Alkmaar in May 2026, and before that AZ won a cup tie 2-1 in February. Twente won 1-0 away back in November 2025.

Go further back and the results swing from big away wins to home routs, so there isn't a consistent trend to lean on from this fixture's history.

History alone doesn't point strongly either way.

League standings

As of the most recent snapshot, AZ Alkmaar sit top of the Eredivisie with 19 points from seven games, six wins and only one defeat. Twente are fourth on 16 points, five wins and one loss, just three points back. It's a tight gap, and with the match not taking place until late October, both records could look quite different by kickoff.

AZ have the better points return so far, but the margin between the sides isn't huge.
