AZ Alkmaar - Go Ahead Eagles predictions

AZ Alkmaar should stroll into a fairly easy victory this Sunday. The odds are decidedly in their favour, with most top bookies pricing a home win at 1.41.

Go Ahead Eagles stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 6.37 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

While AZ Alkmaar can’t exactly be happy with their 1:0 loss in the previous round, a narrow defeat after an undecided first half isn’t too bad. After all, they were considered hard underdogs and played as visitors against FC Twente .

Go Ahead Eagles are here on the back of a draw in their most recent home game, which they secured despite falling behind early. Moreover, the 2.40 betting odds were firmly in their opponents’ favour, so the stalemate caught most tipsters by surprise.

Experts have pointed at AZ Alkmaar’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 9 goals over the last 3 Eredivisie games.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Eredivisie outings.

The latest example of a clash between these two sides we have is from last season when AZ Alkmaar managed to walk away with a solid victory and a 2+ goal difference. If the 1.41 betting odds for a home win are to be believed, most bookies are expecting them to repeat that success.

Sunday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
