Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

This Eredivisie fixture, with GA Eagles and AZ Alkmaar going head-to-head, offers great potential in the highly popular 2.5 goals market, with at least 3 goals predicted to be scored in total. Forwards at both clubs will look to come out on the front foot and, having analysed the relevant stats and odds, we're confident that a bet on over 2.5 goals would be stronger than anything in the WDW market.
