FC Twente - AZ Alkmaar betting tips and odds

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

The visitors understand the difficulty of the task at hand. To beat FC Twente on their own turf would be a major feat, and it is always a tough challenge.

After entering their previous Eredivisie match as the 3.90 favourites, FC Twente failed to pull ahead for more than half the match. However, the bookies’ confidence turned out to be on point as they dominated the second half and locked 3 points with a 0:3 away win.

When you’re a 1.36 favourite to win then your fans will be expecting a compelling victory. However, that’s not what AZ Alkmaar ended up treating their supporters with against AZ Alkmaar_LAST_ROUIND_AWAY despite the HT/FT win as 1:0 result left everyone feeling undone.

Experts have pointed at FC Twente’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 Eredivisie games.

The visitors will likely miss the support of having a home-field advantage. Their latest 3 home games were marked by more than 5 goals in total and it remains to be seen what they can do to extend the positive trend away from home as well.

These two teams have shown to be evenly matched throughout the season. They’ve recorded multiple draws since the competition began, which doesn’t sit well with FC Twente because they’re the favourites. They’ll have a shot at finally getting a positive score, though.

With limited means at their disposal, both teams will have to make do with shortened rosters. We’re referring to the fact both teams suffered strings of injuries, rendering a good chunk of both squads unavailable for this match. Wout Brama, Virgil Misidjan, Denilho Cleonise, Daan Rots, Michal Sadílek, Mathias Kjølø will not be playing for the hosts, while Dani De Wit, Bruno Martins Indi, S. Westerveld, Maxim Dekker, Zinho Vanheusden, Riechedly Bazoer will be missing on the visiting side.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.88 odds offered at Unibet.
