Preview

Match preview

AZ Alkmaar enter this round in fine form, sitting second in the Eredivisie with 16 points from their opening six fixtures. Unbeaten so far with five victories and a draw, the hosts have displayed sharp attacking potency, having scored 17 goals across their matches with key contributions from R. Daal and M. Chavez.

Telstar face a daunting test on their travels, occupying 13th position after collecting five points from five matches. With three defeats already and 11 goals conceded, the visitors have struggled for defensive solidity and have yet to keep a clean sheet in competitive action this campaign.

Recent meetings also heavily favour the home side, with AZ Alkmaar claiming victory in all three previous head-to-head encounters against Telstar across league and cup competitions.

AZ Alkmaar Over 1.5 Goals — 79% confidence

AZ Alkmaar boast a prolific frontline that averages 2.7 goals per game at home and 2.8 overall, having failed to score in zero matches this season. Telstar have not kept a single clean sheet so far, making multiple goals for the hosts a high-probability outcome.

AZ Alkmaar to win — 81% confidence

AZ Alkmaar have been almost flawless in the league, winning five of their six fixtures and scoring 17 goals in the process. Telstar have lost three of their five league matches, conceding an average of 2.2 goals per game, and have lost all three recorded head-to-head clashes between the sides.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (team total goals and match winner), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
