Feyenoord vs AZ Alkmaar Prediction

Total Goals (O/U 1.5)

Over 1.5

With an expectation of Over 2.5 goals and both teams likely to score, Over 1.5 goals is a very high probability outcome for this match.

Total Goals (O/U 3.5)

Under 3.5

While Over 2.5 is likely, pushing to Over 3.5 is borderline. Feyenoord's home average is 3.7 total goals, but AZ's away average is 2.8. Given AZ's away scoring isn't exceptionally high, Under 3.5 offers a safer bet.

1st Half Goals (O/U 0.5)

Over 0.5

Both teams have shown a tendency to score and concede in the first half. Feyenoord scores 48.39% of their goals in the first half, while AZ scores 52.94% in the first half. A goal before halftime is very likely.

First Team to Score

Home

Feyenoord has a strong home attack and has not failed to score at home this season. They are more likely to open the scoring against an AZ side that can be vulnerable away.

Goal in Both Halves

Yes

With both teams expected to score and the likelihood of Over 2.5 goals, it's reasonable to expect action in both halves of the match.

Most Likely Score

2-1

Based on Feyenoord's home scoring average (2.3) and AZ's away scoring average (1.2), combined with both teams conceding, a 2-1 Feyenoord win is a plausible outcome.

BTTS 1st Half

No

While both teams are likely to score in the match, BTTS in the first half is a less common occurrence and carries higher risk. A single goal in the first half is more probable than both teams scoring.

xG Based (O/U 2.5)

Over 2.5 xG

Aligning with the prediction for Over 2.5 actual goals, the attacking nature of both teams and their scoring/conceding averages suggest a match with a high expected goals total.

Double Chance

HT/FT

Over 3.5

Shots on Target (O/U 8.5)
