AZ Groningen betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

I imagine that this game has what it takes to have a lot of goals scored. The home team gets with really high confidence after scoring 6 goals away from home in the previous matchup and the visitors have scored at least 2 goals in the last 4 matches played between these two.

I can only expect a game with lots and lots of goals. Both teams should score and my pick is on the over.

Preview
AZ and Groningen meet at AFAS Stadion, in a match for the 24th round of the Eredivisie. Groningen got a home win by (2‑0), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 20‑09‑2015. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in the last 6 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 25‑10‑2014, in a match for the Eredivisie, they tied (2‑2). The goals of the match were scored by M. Rosheuvel (59' ) and N. Gudelj (83' ), for AZ, and by M. de Leeuw (10' ) and D. Hoesen (52' ), for Groningen. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since Groningen presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis AZ

The home team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 37 points won, after 11 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Vitesse, by (1‑0). In the last match, they won in an away match against Heracles, by (3‑6). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 25 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 9 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses at their stadium, with 31 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches AZ has a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, so they have won 19 points out of 30 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 6 wins in the last matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 23 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

What is there to say about this team's recent form? With an unbelievable streak they have won all of their last 6 games and are now in 4th place after slaughtering Heracles in their own home, 6-3. In addition, they have shown a lot of offensive consistency because they have won 5 of the last 6 games already in the first half.

They will only be without Fernando Lewis for this game.

Confirmed Lineup: Sergio Rochet, Mattias Johansson, Ridgeciano Haps, Ron Vlaar, Stijn Wuytens, Markus Henriksen, Joris van Overeem, Ben Rienstra, Vincent Janssen, Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Dabney dos Santos.
Coach: M. Martens.

Analysis Groningen

The away team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 34 points won, after 9 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Cambuur, by (2‑0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Ajax, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 26 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Groningen has a record of 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (5 out of 11 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 23 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 11 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 7 of their 19 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The team's recent form was very good, they were living up to its full potential and were beating teams they weren't suppose to. They were in a 4 game loseless streak. In the fifth game they met Ajax at home and lost 2-1.

In the last 4 matches against AZ, Groningnen was able to score at least 2 goals in all of them.
