Betting Insights
- The Over 2.5 goals market is a clear favorite at 1.38, while the odds for AZ (1.28) and Telstar (9.5) imply a strong home favourite and the possibility of goals from both sides, underlining why the AZ Alkmaar vs Telstar betting tips emphasize a high scoring affair.
- Telstar have had a mixed run of late, winning two, drawing one and losing two of their last five, but a 4-2 home win over Go Ahead Eagles last time out was a much-needed response to their 2-0 away defeat at the hands of FC Groningen.
Prediction
The hosts are the clear favorites for a reason, and should have too much firepower for Telstar to match on Sunday , particularly at home where AZ average 3.00 goals per game this Eredivisie season (nine goals in three).
