NEC - AZ Alkmaar betting tips and odds

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 AZ Alkmaar are the stronger team between the two, we wouldn’t call an away bet at the odds of 1.80 a safe one. It’s shaping up to be quite an exciting match.

NEC’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 Twente . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 6.75. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 4:0 result before the end.

The Sunday’s away team heads into this Eredivisie match on the back of a solid HT/FT home win (5:1) over FC Emmen. It was a rather straightforward triumph during which AZ Alkmaar went ahead early on and never let their lead get in danger.

With 7 concessions over the last 3 matches, NEC will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

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.

The season’s records show a draw in a game between NEC and AZ Alkmaar during an earlier round of the competition. Considering the favourable betting odds, AZ Alkmaar can’t be happy with that outcome, especially considering the fact that they played at home.

NEC’s chances of winning are more difficult to gauge than usual. Though they would be underdogs anyhow, Robin Roefs, Mathias De Wolf, Calvin Verdonk have been injured on top of that. Needless to say, they have a difficult match to look forward to.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.61 odds offered at Unibet.
