In their last five matches, Go Ahead Eagles had BTTS in 100% of their games and conceded an average of 2.0 goals, strongly supporting an AZ goal, while AZ scored as many as 3.0 goals per match during this period. The only weaker factor is AZ’s 40% BTTS rate in their last five fixtures, but the overall league level of 71% and the attacking data of both teams clearly point to goals from both sides.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
AZ average 3.5 goals per match, while Go Ahead Eagles score 2.0, with both teams having exceeded the 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 goal lines in every match played so far this season.

In their last five matches, AZ have scored 15 goals and Go Ahead Eagles 11, while the visitors have conceded 10 goals during this period. Both teams also record 100% of matches with goals scored by both sides, further reducing the likelihood of a very low-scoring outcome. The strongest signal remains Over 1.5 goals, as the combination of high attacking output and a lack of clean sheets on either side clearly supports at least two goals.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
AZ have been clearly stronger in their last five matches, winning 80% of them and remaining unbeaten, while Go Ahead Eagles have lost 40% of their games. The hosts were leading at the break in 60% of their recent appearances and were never behind after 45 minutes, whereas the visitors were trailing at that stage in 60% of cases.

After the interval, AZ score an average of 2.2 goals, while their opponents have allowed opponents an xG of 2.60 over the season, so the league leaders should maintain or extend their advantage. The visitors are offensively dangerous, averaging 2.2 goals in their last five matches, but AZ’s superior conversion rate of 23% compared with 14% favors a home win in both halves of the HT/FT outcome (1/1).
