Best Tip: Both teams to score

Heerenveen should have reason to feel positive ahead of this fixture and, funnily enough, so might AZ Alkmaar. The bookies don't think there's much between them and neither do we – there's no obvious victor in this fixture. So we look to the both teams to score market, where the signs are pointing in one direction. The form statistics, past head-to-head (H2H) records and bookies odds below are all pointing towards both sides scoring, and that's the bet we'd recommend you go with.
