Over 2.5 Goals is Our Best Bet

There could be some merit in backing Over 2.5 when AZ go up against Fortuna. We think that the Total Goals market provides a value betting angle and we’re happy to take the 1.65 on offer.

AZ Have Won 8 Out of 10 on the H2H

AZ Alkmaar have enjoyed back-to-back league wins, most recently beating PEC Zwolle 2-0. It was a home victory at AFAS Stadion. The Alkmaar club had six shots on target and enjoyed 55% possession, while David Moeller Wolfe and Troy Parrott each scored one goal.

On Thursday night, AZ drew 2-2 away with Galatasaray in the Europa League.

Fortuna Sittard were defeated in their previous game, being beaten at home to Ajax by a 2-0 scoreline at Fortuna Sittard Stadion. Danny Buijs' side enjoyed 49% possession and two shots on goal.

The last encounter between Fortuna and AZ saw the former win at home. It was a 1-0 scoreline at Fortuna Sittard Stadion. We’ve seen the previous 10 H2H games involve eight triumphs for AZ, one draw and one win for Fortuna.
