AZ Alkmaar are one of the most attractive teams to watch in Eredivisie, averaging more than 3.00 goals per game. Fenerbahce have high scoring potential, so I am expecting an open clash with plenty of action in Holland.

Head to Head

This is going to be the fifth head to head match between AZ Alkmaar and Fenerbahce.

The score is tied at 1-1 with 2 draws. The most recent game was won by Fenerbahce 3-2 in January 2019.

AZ Alkmaar Form

AZ Alkmaar had a successful start to the Europa League group stage, beating Elfsborg 3-2 at home with Ruben Van Bommel scoring a brace, Troy Parrot also on target.

They were not as successful in their road contests in rounds two and three, losing both to Athletic Bilbao 2-0 and Tottenham Hotspur 1-0.

As for their form in the Eredivisie, the Cheese Heads are probably out of the title race after collecting just one point in their last five encounters.

They were defeated at Feyenoord 3-2 last weekend, while previously losing to PSV 2-1, Fortuna Sittard 1-0 and Utrecht 2-1.

Defender David Moller Wolfe is suspended.

Manager Maarten Martens has more than 10 names on the injury list right now, including starters like Wouter Goes, Zico Buurmeester, Ruben Van Bommel and Ibrahim Sadiq.

Fenerbahce Form

Jose Mourinho’s side is still unbeaten in the Europa League, having collected five points from three matches despite having a tough schedule.

After beating Union St Gilloise 2-1 at home in the first round, they snatched a point of Twente 1-1 in the second match with Dusan Tadic finding an equalizer in the second half.

The Yellow Canaries were close to beating Manchester United in the 3rd round, the contest ending in a 1-1 draw with Youssef En-Nesyri on target in the 49th minute.

As for their Super Lig campaign, Fenerbahce earned a 3-2 victory on a hot ground at Trabzonspor last weekend. They were behind for 75 minutes when Edin Dzeko found the net. Game-winning goal was seen in stoppage time, Sofyan Amrabat on target.

Verdict

AZ v Fenerbahce

AZ Alkmaar score two goals per game in Eredivisie while rarely keeping a clean sheet. Fenerbahce’s offensive line has been impressive this season, so I am backing BTTS & over 2.5 goals in Holland.
