Fortuna Sittard - AZ Alkmaar predictions

Fortuna Sittard managing to pull off a victory here would be quite the upset. They are definitely underdogs, so even the home-field advantage isn’t able to push the odds lower than 4.58 for a home win.

Though it won’t be the easiest match of their careers, AZ Alkmaar should be able to pull ahead for a victory. Most online bookmakers are pricing an away win at 1.87, which gives us confidence it’s the most likely outcome.

Fortuna Sittard’s previous Eredivisie match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as FC Utrecht . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 5.25. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 4:0 result before the end.

Fans are not as confident in AZ Alkmaar and their form after the mediocre performance we saw at their previous away game at Almere City. The entire match featured a lot of back-and-forth with little to show for it. The score was even on both half-time and the final whistle.

The first step Fortuna Sittard need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

AZ Alkmaar’s defensive line has been a source of frustration for their fans in recent outings. Their previous 3 home games were marked by 7 conceded goals, and betting predictions are suggesting Over markets.

AZ Alkmaar took the home win last time they clashed with Fortuna Sittard, and they did so with a hefty lead. It’s no surprise most betting predictions are expecting another triumph despite the fact they’re playing as the away team in Fortuna Sittard Stadion.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 2.18.
