Football – Holland – Eredivisie Betting Tips

The AFAS Stadion is the venue of my next pick with hosts AZ Alkmaar taking on second from bottom club Willem II with AZ looking to break their duck in the Dutch Eredivisie.

AZ Alkmaar suffered a 3-0 defeat at home to Ajax on the opening day of the season, but that’s no disgrace as Ajax are once again highly-fancied to be one of the major favourites for the top flight title.

AZ then earned a point away at Excelsior in a 2-2 draw which was followed by another tough away trip to Astra in the Europa League where they lost 3-2. However, the hosts can now look to bounce back here tonight when they take on early strugglers Willem II on home turf.

Onto the visitors Willem II then, and they opened their account on the first day of the season with a creditable point against Vitesse in a 1-1 draw at home. However, last weekend they were on the end of a 3-0 defeat away at the aforementioned Ajax and they find themselves second from bottom in the Eredivisie as a result.

Willem II now face a tough task of getting something away at AZ Alkmaar who, despite their slow start to the season, finished in third place at the end of last season. On the flip side, Willem II finished their away campaign with a disappointing haul of  5-2-10  21/28 with just one away win from their last four matches of last season.

Incidentally, AZ won their last encounter at home against Willem II IN A 2-0 home win, and I’ll back them again to take the points here in what could be a 2-1 win for AZ Alkmaar at good odds.

Pick: AZ Alkmaar straight win @ 2.00 Bet Victor
