Bet on AZ to Get the Job Done

AZ could have the upper hand against Almere. We think the favourites will win by two goals or more, so we’ll play the -1.5 on the Asian Handicap at tempting betting odds of 1.93.

AZ Beat Almere in Pair’s Last Meeting

AZ Alkmaar got a third consecutive victory in their last game. It was a 3-2 away win at De Grolsch Veste when playing FC Twente. Maarten Martens' side enjoyed 50% possession and seven shots on target, with Ruben van Bommel, Sven Mijnans and Denso Kasius among the goals.

Almere City drew 1-1 in their previous game. This was at home at Yanmar Stadion against Fortuna Sittard. Almere had 52% possession and recorded five shots on goal, while Junior Kadile was on the scoresheet.

AZ haven’t lost to Almere in their past three games. In the last clash, AZ banked a 1-0 win when visiting Yanmar Stadion. The previous 3 H2H meetings have featured two AZ wins and one draw.
