PSV - AZ Alkmaar betting tips and odds

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.78 is a solid option. That said, AZ Alkmaar may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact AZ Alkmaar are given 5.50 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

PSV’s victory in the previous round caught everyone by surprise. At the odds of 5.40 in an away game against Ajax , no-one expected much from them – but they snagged a lead in the first half and didn’t let up until the bitter end, resulting in an important 1:2 victory.

AZ Alkmaar are keen to bounce back from a heavy 3:1 defeat they suffered at RKC Waalwijk in the previous round of the Eredivisie. This match brought huge disappointment as heavily favourites guests struggled to break through in the first half and then even ended up suffering a big-margin loss.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

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

André Ramalho, Olivier Boscagli, Ismael Saibari will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

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 1.48, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
