Stats for this game
Matchup AZ Alkmaar VS Cambuur
AZ control the historical direction
AZ Alkmaar have the stronger platform, including wins at both venues. They beat Cambuur 1–0 away on 28 August 2022 and followed with a 2–1 home victory on 25 February 2023. The results point clearly toward AZ without suggesting that every meeting produces a wide margin: both league wins remained within one goal. The contrast is the lasting feature of this pairing, and it leaves room for a closer contest in future meetings.
Cambuur’s resistance comes through draws
The teams shared a 0–0 draw at AZ Alkmaar on 22 January 2022, adding a compact counterpoint to the two wins. That scoreline does not overturn the wider hierarchy, but it demonstrates a route for Cambuur to keep the matchup controlled. Future meetings will ask whether Cambuur can repeat that containment and whether AZ can turn its superior historical profile into another decisive result. The balance still leaves room for both clubs to shape the contest.
