SC Heerenveen vs AZ Prediction Eredivisie · Sep 6, 2026

Analysis

AZ come to Friesland as the only perfect side in the Eredivisie: four wins from four, 13 goals scored and just three conceded for a +10 difference and top spot on 12 points. The away record is the most convincing part of it — 4-1 at FC Utrecht and 2-0 at Fortuna Sittard — followed by a 5-2 dismantling of Go Ahead Eagles at home last weekend. Heerenveen have five points from four rounds (one win, two draws, one defeat), five goals scored and six conceded, having been 11th on four points from three games before Sunday's 2-2 at Willem II. Their profile is a team that competes and scores but does not defend cleanly: 2-2 at Ajax, 2-2 at Willem II, and a flat 0-2 home loss to PEC Zwolle. Abe Lenstra is an awkward trip and a 12:30 Sunday kick-off tends to flatten the tempo, so a rout looks less likely than a controlled win. We land on 1-2.
