Destaques
The scheduled kickoff has passed, but the sources checked did not provide a sufficiently reliable live score, match status or final result. That distinction matters: a score displayed on a fixture page may be a placeholder or may not reflect the latest action. UEFA’s match page is the best starting point for checking the score, match events and lineup as they become available.
This is a competitive European fixture between the Dutch and Italian clubs, not a friendly. Juventus identified it as the fourth game of its Europa League campaign, while AZ’s schedule listed AFAS Stadion as the venue.
The clubs listed a 9:00 p.m. kickoff in Alkmaar on November 5. The Netherlands was on Central European Time, UTC+01:00, on that date, making the equivalent time 8:00 p.m. UTC. Juventus also published the fixture at 9:00 p.m. CET in its European calendar.
In the contiguous United States, the corresponding start was 3:00 p.m. Eastern, 2:00 p.m. Central, 1:00 p.m. Mountain and noon Pacific. Those are standard-time readings: U.S. daylight saving time had ended before the match date. The time describes the scheduled start, not a confirmed final whistle.
In the league phase, 36 clubs share one standings table. Each team plays eight matches against eight different opponents, split between four home games and four away games. A win earns three points and a draw earns one, so every result contributes to a club’s position across the full phase.
According to UEFA’s explanation of the standings, the top eight advance directly to the round of 16. Teams finishing ninth through 24th enter the knockout-phase playoffs, while those in 25th through 36th are eliminated. Goal difference is among the criteria used to separate teams level on points.
Because this was Matchday 4, the result would be important without settling either team’s entire campaign by itself. A win would add three points and could improve a club’s position, but its eventual route would also depend on later matches and other results. The league phase is scheduled to finish on January 28, 2027.
Juventus arrived unbeaten in its first three league-phase matches, with two wins and a draw, according to its traveling-squad announcement. The club’s preview said Juventus had scored nine goals across those games, giving it one of the competition’s strongest attacking records at that stage.
AZ’s first three results were a 1–0 loss at Sunderland, a 2–1 home win over Hapoel Beer-Sheva and a 4–0 away win at Ararat-Armenia. That gave the Dutch side six points before facing Juventus. The results are listed in UEFA’s league-phase results.
There was also a notable contrast in recent European records. In its prematch preview, Juventus said the clubs had never previously met in European competition and that AZ was unbeaten in its previous 17 home European matches. Those figures describe the teams before this meeting; they do not establish its outcome.
The next scheduled Europa League matchday is November 26. AZ’s published fixture list has the club traveling to Sparta Prague, while UEFA’s Juventus schedule lists a home game against Omonia. Fixtures can change, so supporters should check the clubs’ official schedules closer to matchday.
