Recent meetings between these sides have generally favoured FC Eindhoven. The visitors completed a league double over Jong AZ during the 2025/26 campaign, winning 2-0 away from home before claiming a 3-2 victory in Eindhoven. These head-to-head fixtures have been relatively high-scoring over the last decade or so, with eight of the last 18 meetings producing over 3.5 goals.
Jong AZ Alkmaar team overview
Jong AZ once again enter the Eerste Divisie campaign with one of the youngest squads in the division. As always, the team will feature several highly-rated prospects from AZ's renowned academy, with player availability expected to fluctuate depending on first-team commitments throughout the season.
Although consistency is often difficult for reserve sides to maintain, Jong AZ finished the previous Eerste Divisie season strongly and demonstrated their attacking potential by scoring regularly during the closing months of the campaign.
No major injury concerns have been reported ahead of the opening fixture, giving the coaching staff plenty of options as they look to start the season positively. Home advantage could also play an important role, as Jong AZ traditionally perform better at the AFAS Trainingscomplex than on their travels.

Prediction
Although reserve teams can be unpredictable early in the season, FC Eindhoven appear to hold the slight edge thanks to their excellent recent record in this fixture. Nevertheless, Jong AZ should create plenty of opportunities on home soil, making multiple goals at both ends a realistic possibility.
Prediction: FC Eindhoven Win or Draw (Double chance X2).
Three reasons we expect Double chance X2
- FC Eindhoven have enjoyed the upper hand in recent meetings. The visitors completed a league double over Jong AZ last season.
- Jong AZ's inconsistency remains a concern. As a reserve team, Jong AZ regularly rotate players depending on AZ's first-team requirements.
- Eindhoven have been highly competitive in this fixture away from home, remaining unbeaten in their last five visits while winning three of them.
