Heracles - AZ Alkmaar predictions

Upsets do happen in football and it’s fair to say a home win here would be a definition of the case. Heracles can count themselves lucky if they avoid getting completely destroyed by AZ Alkmaar in this match.

The visiting side should be able to achieve victory in this clash against Heracles. AZ Alkmaar are favourites to claim three points and at 1.50 betting odds they are a good pick for any sensible punter.

Heracles’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing FC Groningen as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 4:0 loss for Heracles.

Betting predictions were expecting an easier victory for AZ Alkmaar in the previous round against NAC Breda, but they secured the three points either way. The 0:1 home victory was too close to comfort, however, implying their current form is far from perfect.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

With no injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their full rosters available for an exciting showdown.

Your best bet in this scenario is to go for a high-risk, high-reward bet. Namely, we suggest a Draw/Away wager in the Half Time/Full Time market. It’s definitely not a safe bet, but the 5.74 odds make up for it in sheer betting value.
