Match preview

The Europa League Group Stage heats up on November 5th, 2026, as AZ Alkmaar welcome Italian giants Juventus. While the bookmakers have written off a home victory, predicting a 50% chance of a draw or an away win, AZ will be buoyed by their impressive domestic form, boasting 11 wins from 18 matches and finding the net 37 times. Their recent run of three wins and a draw in their last five outings demonstrates a team in confident stride.

However, Juventus arrive in the Netherlands as clear favorites, despite their slightly lower domestic win rate of 55%. The Bianconeri have been ruthless in front of goal, scoring 57 times and securing 18 victories from 33 league fixtures. Their recent form is even more intimidating, having won four and drawn one of their last five matches. This clash pits AZ's impressive attacking output against Juventus's proven European pedigree and current momentum. Watch for Juventus's clinical finishing against AZ's resilient home defense, as the hosts look to defy the odds and secure a crucial point.
