Futmetrix AI estimate
AZ Alkmaar’s attack meets Juventus’ unbeaten run
Highly Entertaining Futmetrix Score: 76/100. One point separates the sides, and this fourth-round meeting gives AZ a chance to catch Juventus while both still have room to climb the 36-team table.
The Setup
On November 5, 2026, the sides meet at AFAS Stadion with Juventus seventh on seven points and AZ tenth on six. Both have won twice in three rounds, but Juventus remain unbeaten and have scored nine goals; AZ have six goals and just two conceded. The Form picture favours Juventus’ steadier start, while the Balance is intriguing: AZ’s defence has been tighter, but the visitors carry more scoring punch. The Stakes are meaningful without being final: another win would strengthen either side’s position in the league-stage pack. The Stars are not confined to the away side; AZ have attacking threats of their own.
Key Battle
Weslley Patati gives AZ a direct route to goal, with two goals and an assist across his last three matches. Juventus will look to N. Woltemade, who has three goals and an assist in three appearances. Patati’s ability to turn possession into a quick attack could unsettle the visitors; Woltemade’s movement and finishing give Juventus a way to punish gaps. This duel could decide whether AZ’s home pressure becomes a real threat or leaves space for Juventus to exploit.
Our Prediction
Our call is a 2-1 Juventus win. AZ should press with intent and find a way to score, but Juventus’ unbeaten start and sharper return in front of goal make them the likelier side to take control. Expect the visitors to use quick combinations to get beyond AZ’s first line, then make the hosts chase the game by protecting possession and attacking the space left behind. It should be close, but Juventus have the edge in the decisive moments.
