The team of Arne Slot became vice champions after the end of the season in the Dutch Eredivisie behind Ajax Amsterdam, who were able to defend the championship. Both teams scored 56 points after 25 match days. In the last league game on 7 March 2020 Alkmaar had ADO Den Haag as a guest and beat the penultimate in the league table clearly. Koopmeiners (13th, 84th), Wijndal (19th) and Druijf (89th) scored the goals in a 4-0 home win.
The slot team won the last three games in Eredivisie and did not concede. AZ also finished the last three home appearances with the full score. After Master Amsterdam, you are the second best home team in Holland (10 victories, one draw, two defeats). Alkmaar’s top three goalscorers scored double-digit goals – Myron Boadu (14 goals), Oussama Idrissi (13), Teun Koopmeiners (11).
The Dutch travelled to Europe last season. In the Euro League Alkmaar played in Group L with Manchester United (13 points), who secured first place before AZ (9). Partizan Belgrade (8) and FC Astana (3) finished third and fourth. In the EL interim round, AZ was on holiday against the Austrian representative LASK (1:1 [H], 0:2). With only two wins from all eight European league games (both against outsider Astana), the season was mediocre on the international stage despite entering the intermediate round.
Jeremy Helmer and Pantelis Chatzidiakos are injured against Pilsen.

The Czechs also finished second in their home league (Fortuna Liga) and secured the runner-up. Slavia Prague won the championship (72 points), six points ahead of Victoria. The season in the Czech Republic came to an end and started last weekend. The team of Adrian Gula received Slezsky FC Opava at home and scored the three points. At the end of the first half, Cermak scored a penalty and gave the lead to the home team. On the other side, Slezsky then went 1-0 in front of Matej Helesic (44th). But that wasn’t all in the first 45 minutes. Matej Hrabina flew off the pitch in red (45th +3). Bucha turned the penalty to 1:1 (45th +4). After the change of sides Plzeň made everything clear and won 3-1. The goals shot Beauguel (55th) and Adriel D`Avila (76th).
The Gula-Elf participated in the championship round after 30 days in the Fortuna Liga and lost only to Slavia Prague in the five games (0-1). There were three victories against FK Jablonec (2-0), Sparta Prague (2-1) and Slovan Liberec (4-0). Against Banik Ostrau, there was the only zero number. In 15 guest appearances there were eight wins, five draws and only two defeats. Again, only the master was more successful. None of the last six away games were lost (five wins, one draw).
Already last season Viktoria tried to qualify for the Champions League and lost to Olympiakos Piraeus (0:0 [H], 0:4). It then continued in the EL qualification against the Belgian Royal Antwerp (0:1 [A], 2:1 n/a), which was then also over directly due to the away goal rule.
The five-time Czech champion has no blocked or injured players to complain about and can travel to Holland in top ratings.
