We said: Ajax 2-1 AZ Alkmaar

Given Ajax's impressive form, it is difficult to see them slipping up against an AZ side that have lost their last two away matches in all competitions. The hosts have been resolute at the back throughout their 10-game winning streak, while their attack has found its rhythm at just the right time, and that firepower could prove too much for an AZ defence that have shipped nine goals in their last four away outings.
