AZ Alkmaar vs ADO Den Haag Predictions

• AZ have won 6 of their last 7 matches against Den Haag.
• AZ have kept clean sheets in 6 of their last 7 matches against Den Haag.
• AZ have won 9 of their 12 home games and kept clean sheets in 67% of their Eredivisie matches this season.

The hosts have a strong home record where they keep clean sheets for fun

AZ won 2-0 away at Ajax last weekend while Den Haag played out a goalless draw at home to Heracles, which means the distance between the two clubs increased to 34pts ahead of Saturday’s latest encounter. AZ are the form favourites with two wins, one draw, and three defeats from their last six in all competitions, as Den Haag have lost three and drawn three of their last six league games.

AZ have a great record against Den Haag which includes six wins and six cleans from their last seven meetings with Saturday’s guests, and the hosts have also kept clean sheets in their last two league games while Den Haag have failed to score in four of their last six outings. The hosts have won nine of their twelve home games in the Eredivisie and the visitors have lost nine of their twelve away games, so you can see why we have backed an AZ win this weekend.

The hosts average 2.33 points per home game while the visitors average just 0.58 points per away game, which suggests that the most likely result this weekend is an AZ victory. AZ have won 75% of their home games where they score an average of 2.33 goals and only concede 0.67 goals and with Den Haag conceding an average of 2.75 goals per away game, you can see just why we have predicted a win-to-nil in favour of AZ and a final scoreline of 3-0.

Den Haag concede a lot of goals and rarely pick up points on the road

Over 2.5 goals have been produced in 58% of AZ’s home games but only 25% have seen both teams score, while 83% of Den Haag’s away trips have seen over 2.5 goals scored and both teams have scored in just 50%. AZ have only conceded 8-goals at home this season where they have kept clean sheets in 75% of their matches, while Den Haag have failed to score in 33% of their away games and have conceded a whopping 33-goals in just twelve trips on the road.

AZ have only failed to score in 8% of their home games and 17% have produced exactly 3-goals, while 17% of Den Haag’s away trips have also produced exactly 3-goals. A majority of AZ’s wins this season (13) have been obtained with a margin of 2 goals or more while a majority of Den Haag’s defeats (10) have had a margin of 2 goals or more, which ties in perfectly with our prediction for a 3-0 home win this weekend.

We’re confident that AZ will win-to-nil on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-0. The hosts have plenty of motivation for the 3pts now that they are level with Ajax at the top of the Eredivisie table and know they can’t afford to slip up if they want to establish themselves as the favourites for the title. Den Haag have struggled all season long, especially away from home, and we can’t see Saturday’s match producing a change in fortunes for the side sat second from bottom and 6pts adrift of safety.
