We said: Groningen 0-1 AZ Alkmaar

While Groningen have won both matches this season, it is worth pointing out that their opponents in those matches were reduced to 10 men, which helped swing matters in their favour. If AZ can keep a full contingent on the pitch, we feel they will be able to come away with the points. Read more.
