AZ Alkmaar vs Galatasaray S.K. Prediction 13 February 2025

AZ remains among the Eredivisie leaders while maintaining a solid European reputation. The Cheeseheads finished 19th in the league stage with 11 points and a 13:13 goal difference, recently recording results such as a 3-1 win over Fenerbahce, draws with Galatasaray (1-1) and Ludogorets (2-2), a 1-0 victory against Roma, and a 3-4 loss to Ferencváros.

Galatasaray, meanwhile, managed a 3-2 win over Tottenham but then faltered in their next four European outings—drawing with AZ (1-1), Malmö (2-2), and Dynamo Kyiv (3-3) before losing 1-2 to Ajax. These results left them in 14th place with 13 points and a 16:19 goal difference, missing out on the top eight.

Both sides possess strong attacking capabilities but often struggle defensively. With a spot in the next round at stake, this clash is still expected to be an open, high-scoring affair.
