This fixture was marked in the calendar a long time ago by supporters of both teams, as it's the premier Eredivisie game of the season. Both AZ and Go Ahead Eagles are hoping for a positive start to their league adventure.

These are busy days for the host team, as they had a game only three days ago in the Europa Conference League. That game was an away game at Dundee United, so at least AZ are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
