AZ Alkmaar - SC Cambuur betting tips and odds

With the odds set at 1.27 for a home win, AZ Alkmaar winning is clearly the most likely outcome in this matchup. Bigger upsets have happened, of course, but we wouldn’t expect anything but a decisive home win.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - SC Cambuur will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

The top online bookmakers didn’t give AZ Alkmaar much of a shot at winning their previous away match against Feyenoord – and they were right. Still, they maintained an even score until the second half and only lost by a 1-goal difference (2:1). This wasn’t a terrible performance considering the 4.33 odds on an away win at kick-off.

SC Cambuur had home-field advantage in their previous Eredivisie bout, but it wasn’t enough to stave off the 2.33 pre-match betting odds clearly painting them as the underdogs. Many were surprised that they maintained a strained draw until the second half, but that status quo was broken as the away team scored the decider.

We’ve seen a string of concessions from AZ Alkmaar on their home turf – specifically, 6 over the last 3 matches. Online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of getting out of this one with a clean sheet.

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.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Eredivisie season, the hosts already recorded a victory over SC Cambuur. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Dani De Wit, Bruno Martins Indi, S. Westerveld, Maxim Dekker, Zinho Vanheusden, Sam Beukema, Riechedly Bazoer. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Maxim Gullit, Jamie Jacobs, Jhondly van der Meer. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.62 if you use the 888Sport sportsbook.
