Best Tip: AZ Alkmaar to win

Having examined the bookmakers' odds and collated statistics regarding the two sides ahead of this Eredivisie fixture, a bet on win / draw / win for AZ Alkmaar to win in front of their own fans is the way we would recommend bettors go. We predict they'll overpower Fortuna, and head-to-head (H2H) records show they have the pedigree to do so. It could be a tighter than we expect, but AZ Alkmaar to win is the bet come Sunday afternoon.
