AZ Alkmaar - PEC Zwolle predictions

It’s quite easy to predict that AZ Alkmaar will take the 3 points here. Though a different result is not entirely impossible, it would still be quite a notable upset.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is unambiguous. Considering the strength of AZ Alkmaar and the 7.98 odds given to PEC Zwolle to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a remarkable upset.

The hosts severely underperformed in the previous round of the Eredivisie by recording a surprising 2:2 draw at FC Volendam. AZ Alkmaar were the hard favourites going in, so the fact that they couldn’t manage to earn a conclusive lead for 90 minutes is quite a disappointment for their fans.

PEC Zwolle are likely hoping for a repeat of the previous round at Telstar. They took an early lead despite being visiting underdogs and ended up decisively winning 0:2.

With 6 goals in their previous 3 Eredivisie matches, AZ Alkmaar’s attacking players have been seeing a lot of success and top bookmakers online are backing them to continue the trend.

The two teams last met in the previous season when AZ Alkmaar won the clash with a convincing goal difference. Their fans are expecting another clear-cut triumph and the bookmakers tend to agree.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
