On Monday, March 9, 2026, two teams at the bottom of the table will face each other. The match Jong AZ Alkmaar vs FC Emmen will be more important for the visitors, who still have a chance to qualify for the Eredivisie. Let’s see what this two teams prepared for us in our new match prediction.
Jong AZ vs Emmen: What to Expect
Jong AZ Alkmaar
The AZ youth team is currently in 17th place, but is consistently picking up points even against the leaders of the Eerste Divisie. For example, in a recent match against league leaders ADO Den Haag, Frank Peereboom’s team took a sensational victory (1:4), scoring four goals on their opponents’ pitch.
Overall, AZ has had quite a few victories, but ahead of the Jong AZ vs Emmen match, the hosts lack stability.
In their previous three matches, Alkmaar lost to outsiders Vitesse (2:0), drew with Den Bosch (2:2), and defeated TOP Oss (0:3) away, which is why predictions ahead of their match against FC Emmen are mixed.
FC Emmen
The visitors are in a slightly better position ahead of the upcoming match, but not by much.
Emmen was in the top 10 not so long ago, but Menno Van Dam’s team has gradually slipped to the bottom half of the table. The team now has 33 points and is not far behind a playoff spot, but to get there, they need to start picking up points to improve their prediction.
It is very difficult for Emmen to pick up points, as the visitors were only able to break their seven-match winless streak in the last round, which is unacceptable for a team that wants to compete for the top spots.
The victory over Jong FC Utrecht (1:0) cannot be called very convincing either, and they owe it primarily to Romano Postema’s early goal and Luca Unbehaun’s saves, especially the one he made in the final seconds of the game.
