De Graafschap's recent games have been loose and eventful. They are scoring at 2.0 per match across the last five, but conceding 3.2, which explains why they remain dangerous without looking fully secure. Their broader form line stands at 1W 1D 3L, so home advantage matters in a fixture that already carries pressure this early in the season.

Jong AZ Alkmaar arrive with 1W 0D 4L in their last five and a scoring return of only 0.4 goals per game over that run. They have still tightened in the outright odds, with the away price cut to 3.05, while De Graafschap have eased to 2.08. That movement adds caution to the prediction, but the stronger home scoring profile and Jong AZ Alkmaar's blunt recent attack keep the balance with De Graafschap.
