Zwolle vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction & Betting Tips (20 September)

It would be fair to say that Zwolle have been struggling on their own patch of late, with eight of their previous ten Eredivisie fixtures ending in defeat, and they are currently on a run of four games without a goal as well. AZ Alkmaar had not been in great form on the road themselves prior their next match, but they had still only lost once in seven.

When AZ Alkmaar come calling, under 3.5 goals inevitably follows, with this being the case in each of their previous 18 away matches at the top table of the Eredivisie. Given that 16 of the most recent 19 Zwolle home games at this level have followed the same pattern, it would come as a surprise to see anything different when the two teams square off against each other.

Over the course of their last 21 away matches in the Eredivisie, AZ Alkmaar have been involved in just five contests in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 91 minutes. What’s more, 13 of the previous 18 Zwolle games at this level have seen at least one of the two sides pitch a shutout, so it would come as a surprise to see both teams score.
