AZ Alkmaar vs Emmen Predictions

AZ scored three goals without reply at home to Twente in their last league game, while Emmen secured a 2-1 victory at home against Vitesse but thirteen points still separate the sides heading into Sunday’s clash.

All of the stats suggest that we could see at least four goals scored in Sunday’s match and we have backed AZ to claim a 4-1 victory in their own backyard.

Over 3.5 goals were produced in three of the last four meetings between these two clubs and AZ have never lost against Emmen before, picking up four wins and two draws from the pairs six previous encounters, so you can see why we’ve backed the hosts to win and plenty of goals to be scored this weekend as well.

The performances of both teams heading into Sunday’s match points towards plenty of goals being scored, as over 3.5 goals were produced in three of AZ’s last four matches as well as in two of Emmen’s last three matches. AZ have scored four or more goals in four matches in all competitions this season while Emmen have conceded four or more goals in two of their six away games, which is why we have backed a 4-1 win for the hosts this weekend.

The form of both teams during the last month or so only adds weight to our prediction for a home win this Sunday, as AZ have won their last three matches in all competitions and Emmen have lost three of their last five matches in league and cup. AZ have managed to keep clean sheets in their last two Eredivisie games but Emmen have only failed to score in one of heir last six matches in all competitions and we believe the visitors will score on Sunday as well.

We’re confident that over 3.5 goals will be produced in Sunday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 4-1 in favour of AZ. The hosts head into the game as the clear form favourites and sit second in the table behind Ajax, while Emmen hover just above the relegation zone and have been poor away from home this season. AZ have been scoring a lot of goals of late, seven in their last two league games, and Emmen have only failed to score in one of their last six matches, so we can expect lots of goalmouth action between the pair this weekend.
