Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both AZ Alkmaar and Utrecht fans should have some reason to cheer as their teams go head-to-head, with our prediction of both teams to score looking a far stronger pick than any bet on the outright winner. The two teams are more than capable of finding the net, as is borne out by the statistics and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookies odds are not finding real separation between the sides, with equal threat among their respective squads. Both teams to score is the way to go here.
