Go Ahead Eagles - AZ Alkmaar predictions

The hosts will have little to hope for in this match. The betting odds work against them and so does the overall impression. They are a weaker side here and it would be a proper upset if they manage to beat AZ Alkmaar.

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 1.83, which gives us confidence it’s the most likely outcome.

Go Ahead Eagles faced off against Fortuna Sittard in the previous game, and most bookies placed them as the underdogs. The final result was a 0:0 draw, however, after a prolonged stalemate which isn’t something to scoff at.

AZ Alkmaar are coming on the back of a 2:1 home victory against FC Twente in the previous round. Still, their performance in that match was somewhat unconvincing, especially after their opponents took the lead in the first half.

AZ Alkmaar can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

AZ Alkmaar won the home game they played against Go Ahead Eagles earlier in the season, and they did so with a notable goal difference. Winning this showdown as well would firmly establish them as the better team.

Both teams will have a complete lineup for an exciting showdown, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.65 at Betway.
