【Key Factors】
The key factors that could determine the outcome of this match are AZ Alkmaar's superior overall form, their home advantage, and their ability to capitalize on Groningen's poor away record. AZ Alkmaar will likely look to control possession and create chances through their talented attacking lineup.
Groningen, on the other hand, will need to find a way to defend resolutely and try to hit on the counterattack. Their recent away performances suggest they will struggle to match AZ Alkmaar's quality, but they will need to be more clinical in front of goal to have a chance.
Injuries and suspensions could also play a role, with AZ Alkmaar potentially missing goalkeeper Etienne Vaessen.

【Expert Prediction】 🟢3-1🔵
Based on the available information, I predict a 3-1 victory for the home side, AZ Alkmaar.
AZ Alkmaar's superior form, goal-scoring ability, and their home advantage should prove too much for Groningen to handle. The depth and quality of AZ Alkmaar's squad, combined with their tactical discipline, make them the clear favorites in this encounter.
While Groningen will be eager to cause an upset, AZ Alkmaar's relentless attacking play and their ability to control the match at the AFAS Stadio should see them through to a comfortable win. A narrow victory for the home side or an upset result for the away team cannot be entirely ruled out, but a 3-1 win for AZ Alkmaar is my prediction.
This match has the potential to be a closely contested affair, with AZ Alkmaar looking to make a strong statement in their opening Eredivisie fixture.
