AZ Alkmaar have a 14-match streak with over 1.5 goals scored, and their last four have all seen over 2.5 goals. The home team has also been a delight: 70% of their last home matches have seen at least three goals scored, and the Go Ahead Eagles' average home goal total is 3.6 goals per match. Recent 5-0 thrashings of Zwolle and Breda (6-0) only confirm their attacking potential.
Head-to-head record also offers no reason to expect a clean sheet. The last match between the teams ended in a high-scoring 2-2 draw. AZ Alkmaar dominates their head-to-head record (11 wins in 16 matches), but away wins are rare – 73% of AZ's matches this season have been "both teams to score." A 1-2 scoreline in favor of the visitors is also predicted by experts to see at least three goals.
