Feyenoord - AZ Alkmaar betting tips and odds

Feyenoord are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on AZ Alkmaar winning, though.

AZ Alkmaar appear severely unprepared for a clash with Feyenoord, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.75 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Feyenoord are coming off from an away win in the last round. They grabbed an early lead against SC Heerenveen and never gave up their dominance of the proceedings, showing a lot of confidence despite a low margin and a 1:2 win.

AZ Alkmaar have shown to know how to seize an opportunity and keep it going. Just last round they secured a solid 5:0 in a home game against Excelsior. Being hard favourites with odds of 1.29 on a home win, they easily took the lead in the first half and kept the upper hand until the end.

The attacking players for the home side left a solid impression by scoring 5 times over their latest 3 away games. The added home-field advantage they’ll have this time around makes them even more dangerous.

AZ Alkmaar’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 6 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

Feyenoord clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with AZ Alkmaar, but it was a rather narrow victory.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Justin Bijlow, Gernot Trauner, Patrik Wålemark, Sebastian Szymański. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Dani De Wit, Bruno Martins Indi, S. Westerveld, Maxim Dekker, Sam Beukema, Riechedly Bazoer, Djordje Mihailovic. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.71 if you use the Unibet sportsbook.
