Sunderland vs AZ Alkmaar Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

With a roughly 60% chance of triumphing, the bookmakers aren’t giving too much away with their -152 betting odds for Sunderland winning this Europa League clash. AZ Alkmaar are seen as the most unlikely winner at +390.

Sunderland -0.75 at -123 means you split your Asian Handicap stake between -0.5 and -1. You ideally want a win by two goals or more against AZ, although a one-goal victory means a half-stake return and a refund with the other half.

Over 2.5 Goals is the market leader and that means three or more goals are predicted. The Yes option in the Both Teams to Score market is regarded as the most likely outcome and is trading at -156.
