Expert Betting Tips
AZ Alkmaar have not been performing well recently, and I see no reason to back them to victory despite dominating the head-to-head encounters between both sides. The hosts have been exceptional recently and have only lost three of their last 16 games. They are also performing well at home, and I believe the best result AZ can see in this game is the first-half draw. However, I expect goals from both sides before the final whistle.
Our prediction for this match is to see more than two goals for odds of 1.87 at 1xbet.
Our second prediction is a draw in the first 45 minutes at odds of 2.18 at Bet365.
Our third prediction for this match is for both teams to score, with odds of 1.75 at Betway.
