Best Tip: AZ Alkmaar to win

We are predicting AZ Alkmaar will claim victory after 90 minutes on Saturday in the win / draw / win market. The recent form statistics and historical head-to-head (H2H) data below all that they're well placed to do just that and, as favourites with the bookmakers, the odds back that up too. There could be wild scenes among the home fans when that final whistle blows at AFAS Stadion.

Goal Statistics

A PG of 2.3 is decent for AZ in their meeting with SC Heerenveen, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 28 consecutive Eredivisie outings.

With a PG of just 0.9, SC Heerenveen look set to find it difficult here. Add in the fact that AZ have kept a clean sheet in 4 consecutive Eredivisie matches, and it could be a long night for R. van Persie's men.
