AZ score 2.67 goals per home match, while the visitors have failed to score in 67% of their away games, which strongly supports the home-win scenario. In addition, Telstar’s defense allows an average xG of 2.62, so with AZ averaging 58% possession, the hosts should consistently apply pressure and create plenty of chances.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
A scenario in which both teams do not score is more likely primarily due to Telstar’s limited attacking potential: the visitors average 0.67 goals per season and just 0.6 over their last 5 matches. During this period, Telstar scored only 3 goals, failed to score in 67% of their league matches, and recorded an average xG of 0.99. AZ are in excellent form, winning 4 of their last 5 matches, with an average of 3.0 goals scored and an xG of 2.52, so they should be able to exploit the visitors’ defense, which has conceded 2.0 goals per match recently. The hosts, meanwhile, have limited opponents to an xG of just 1.01 across their last five games, further reducing Telstar’s chances of scoring. Although the league has a high BTTS rate of 74%, the clear disparity in form and the visitors’ poor attacking efficiency provide stronger support for the BTTS - No pick, meaning that at least one team is expected not to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
AZ are in excellent attacking form: over their last 5 matches, they have averaged 3.0 goals scored, with an impressive average xG of 2.52. Over the same period, Telstar scored just 0.6 goals per game and conceded 2.0, while their average xG against stands at 1.97, which supports a high-scoring home performance. AZ have kept a clean sheet in none of their matches at home so far, giving the visitors a realistic, albeit limited, chance of finding the net. Over 2.5 goals landed in 60% of the last five matches involving both teams, while the league-wide average is a very high 3.94 goals. However, the strongest selection remains Over 1.5 goals, as the combination of AZ's in-form attack and Telstar's weak defense clearly increases the probability of at least two goals.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
AZ are in clearly stronger current form: they have won four of their last five matches, scoring an average of 3.0 goals and conceding just 1.2, while Telstar have failed to win any of their last five and have scored only 0.6 goals per game. The hosts held a lead at the break in 60% of their last five appearances, whereas the visitors were never ahead after 45 minutes; Telstar also failed to score in the first half throughout this period. AZ’s advantage should increase after the interval, as they have averaged 2.0 goals in the second half over their last five matches, while Telstar have conceded an average of 1.6 goals after the break. In addition, AZ have the higher attacking xG, 1.08 compared with 0.87, while Telstar’s defense allows opponents an average xG of 2.62. The most likely HT/FT outcome therefore remains AZ leading at half-time and the hosts securing victory by the final whistle: 1/1.
