We’re expecting a high-scoring clash between Heerenveen and AZ Alkmaar. Therefore, head to the Total Goals market and our betting prediction is to back Over 2.5 at -125 where we need three or more.

Expert Analysis

The formbook is always a good place to start ahead of making football recommendations. Team news is also an important port of call, while the stats we present always tell an interesting story.

Key Heerenveen vs AZ Alkmaar stats:

  • In 16 of the last 20 Heerenveen matches, there have been Over 2.5 Goals
  • Heerenveen have conceded 2 or more goals in 12 of their last 20 matches
  • Heerenveen have scored 2 or more goals in 5 of their past 10 home matches
  • In 14 of the last 20 AZ Alkmaar matches, there have been Over 2.5 Goals
  • AZ Alkmaar have scored 2 or more goals in 11 of their past 18 matches this season

The Over 2.5 Goals selection is our betting tip at -125. Both teams can find the net in this Eredivisie clash and we’re needing the net to bulge three or more times.

If you’re looking for bigger odds, you can have a bang on Over 3.5 Goals and that is a significantly larger price with the bookies.
