Vitesse - AZ Alkmaar betting tips and odds

Though the match can honestly go either way, Vitesse will be at a bit of a disadvantage. Their victory is priced at 3.20 despite the home-field advantage, so they’ll need to bring their A-game.

Despite playing away, AZ Alkmaar are more likely to win this showdown than the hosts. It’s not a done deal, of course. Considering the betting odds for an away win are set at 2.25, we’re in for a close game.

Vitesse iare coming off from a purposeful 4:1 triumph against VVV-Venlo . The last time they played at GelreDome, they had issues taking control in the early game but established clear dominance in the second half.

AZ Alkmaar put in a rather uninspiring performance in the first half of their previous home game against Feyenoord. The latter 45 minutes, on the other hand, saw them take home a stunning 4:2 victory.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

AZ Alkmaar have a notoriously bad track record when it comes to defending their posts. Though their recent streak of 5 conceded goals over 3 home games does not directly apply here, it’s still bad news.

We already have a clash between these teams to use as a reference point. Earlier in the season, AZ Alkmaar walked to a comfortable victory. It seems that the 2.25 odds make a lot of sense, considering the information at hand.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

Sadly, we can’t get good value here and still stay cautious. An HT/FT bet for Draw/Away is the best option due to the visitor’s tendency to stumble in the first half.
