AZ Alkmaar - Go Ahead Eagles predictions

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.53 is a solid option. That said, Go Ahead Eagles may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

The current perspective makes the situation straightforward. Given the superiority of AZ Alkmaar and the 5.80 odds given to Go Ahead Eagles to win, it is evident that a victory for the visiting team would be a shocking surprise.

AZ Alkmaar are coming off from a slim PSV defeat in the last round of the Eredivisie. This time around they will be looking to tighten up the defence and avoid conceding in the first half which cost them a positive result in the previous match.

The 1:5 result of Go Ahead Eagles’s home match against Feyenoord was expected by most online sportsbooks. Go Ahead Eagles were clear underdogs at the start of the game, and it quickly went south for them.

AZ Alkmaar are a force to be reckoned with when met on their home turf, which is the case here. They currently have a trend going on with more than 5 goals scored over the last 3 home games, and they’ll certainly be looking to continue it.

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.

It’s too early in the season to make reliable predictions about what the table will look like in the end. However, Go Ahead Eagles will run into many issues if their goal is to earn the 3 points needed to get to the Europa League. They are clear underdogs in this upcoming showdown.

If AZ Alkmaar managed to keep the form they had last season, this match won’t be a big problem for them. They defeated Go Ahead Eagles more than once that year, and every instance was a decisive result with a goal difference of over 2.

Quite a long list of injuries for the hosts. S. Westerveld, Bruno Martins Indi, Wouter Goes, Lewis Schouten, Lequincio Zeefuik, Ibrahim Sadiq, Z. Buurmeester will all be absent for this match. Even though the betting odds consider them favourites, it’s important to remember that a good part of their regular roster is out of contention.

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.
