General match analysis
AZ go into the match as league leaders and remain unbeaten in their last five games, with a record of 3 wins and 2 draws, while Fortuna have collected 7 points during the same period. The visitors are clearly more dangerous in chance creation: away from home, they average 24 shots and 9 on target, compared with Fortuna’s 17 and 7, while their average xG stands at 2.43 versus 1.85 for the hosts. AZ score an average of 4 goals per away match, whereas Fortuna concede 1 goal on average but allow opponents to generate as much as 2.16 xG. AZ’s defence looks more reliable, allowing opponents just 0.93 xG away from home—more than twice less than Fortuna. The hosts won their only home game so far and score an average of 3 goals there, so they can find the net, but the superior quality of chances and more consistent form point towards an AZ victory.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The BTTS pick is primarily supported by current form: Fortuna have averaged 1.8 goals scored and 2.0 conceded in their last 5 matches, while AZ have recorded 2.8 and 1.0 respectively. Over the same period, BTTS landed in 80% of Fortuna’s matches and 60% of AZ’s, compared with a league average of 72%. AZ create a very high volume of chances, averaging 2.43 xG, 24 shots and 9 shots on target per match, so an away goal is highly likely given Fortuna’s recent 1.84 xG conceded. The hosts, in turn, have posted 1.39 xG across their last five outings, while AZ have failed to keep a clean sheet in any match this season. Although Fortuna currently have a 100% home clean-sheet rate in a small sample, their weaker defensive form over the last five matches and AZ’s attacking profile point more clearly towards BTTS - Yes.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
AZ show very strong attacking potential: they average 2.8 goals scored over their last five matches, with an xG of 2.00, while their season data shows an impressive 2.43 xG.

Over 2.5 goals has landed in 80% of Fortuna’s last five matches and 60% of AZ’s, while the league average is as high as 3.5 goals per match. The hosts are also capable of responding, having scored 9 goals in their last five matches, but AZ have netted 14 during the same period. The strongest signal is Over 1.5 goals, as both teams recorded at least two goals in 100% of their available season matches, while the projected 3.40 goals gives this line a clear advantage.

AZ have greater offensive potential: they average 4.0 goals, with an xG of 2.43 and 9 shots on target per match, while Fortuna record 2.0 goals, an xG of 1.45 and 4 shots on target.

After the interval, AZ average 1.8 goals in their last five matches, while Fortuna concede 1.4 goals during that period, further supporting the scenario of the visitors maintaining or extending their lead.
