Best Tip: AZ Alkmaar to win

As the AZ Alkmaar players ready themselves for this fixture, the bookies have predicted success for them. The odds and our pre-match statistics below point in that direction too, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) data we factor into our predictive algorithms. The AFAS Stadion hasn't been a happy hunting ground for for Groningen in the past, and we we think that will be the case again on Sunday afternoon. A win / draw / win home win is the way to go.
