AZ to Win with Handicap (-1)

Although AZ didn’t have the best end of the season with one win in the last six games, Go Ahead Eagles actually lost their last five matches in Eredivisie last season. Still, the guests finished 13th in the standings, while AZ was fifth overall.

So, it’s pretty clear who should get the win here and we have no doubt about it, so our prediction is for AZ to win the game by two or more goals. After all, AZ beat Go Ahead Eagles in both of their meetings last season, putting a total of nine goals past them in those two games.

Over 2.5 Total Goals

The last four h2h meetings between AZ and Go Ahead Eagles have all gone over 2.5 total goals. In fact, all of them have also gone over 3.5 total goals, so we expect to see at least three goals in this game as well.

In addition to this, AZ averaged 3.18 goals per game in the league last season, while Go Ahead Eagles averaged 2.59 goals per game in Eredivisie last year.

Vangelis Pavlidis to Score at Any Time

The young Greek striker is one of the team’s top prospects and there’s a good reason why big things are expected of him since he already scored 18 goals for AZ last season.

So, since we expect AZ to win this game by two or more goals, we can see Vangelis Pavlidis joining in the fun and netting at least one goal against Go Ahead Eagles.

AZ vs Go Ahead Eagles preview: Can the guests pull off an upset?

AZ

After they finished last season in the fifth place in the standings, the team from Alkmaar secured a place in the Europa Conference League Qualifiers. The team started the Qualifiers by eliminating Tuzla with a couple of wins, but then they caused a shock when they lost the first leg to Dundee United in Scotland.

Go Ahead Eagles

Even though they lost their last five matches in the league last season, Go Ahead Eagles were never really in danger of relegation since they ended up in the thirteenth place. However, they are once again one of the main candidates for going down, but their fans are certainly hoping that they can stay up again.
