Jong AZ vs De Graafschap Prediction & Betting Tips (23 September)

To say that Jong AZ come into this contest in poor form would be somewhat of an understatement, with the Eerste Divisie strugglers suffering 11 defeats in their previous 15 top-flight matches. Although De Graafschap have not been firing on all cylinders this season, the fact remains that the De Graafschap have enjoyed eight wins in their last 11 fixtures at this level.

When De Graafschap come calling in the Eerste Divisie, over 2.5 goals tends to be the order of the day, with this being the case in 17 of the De Graafschap outfit’s previous 20 away games. Not only that, but 19 of the last 20 Jong AZ home matches at the top table of Spanish football have also delivered a minimum of two successful strikes, so this pattern should continue.

Over the course of their last 17 Eerste Divisie matches, De Graafschap have both scored and conceded during the same 90 minutes on 13 occasions, so the De Graafschap has not been entirely responsible for the excitement levels going up. As for an impressive Jong AZ side, 12 of their previous 15 top-flight games have also been devoid of clean sheets at either end.
