Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Shakhtar and AZ Alkmaar fans should have some reason to cheer as their sides go head-to-head, with a match prediction of both teams to score looking a far stronger pick than any bet on the outright winner. The two sides have goals in them, as is borne out by the stats 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.
