Both teams are vying for a spot in European competition, with points and direct competitive ambitions at stake. AZ Alkmaar have struggled defensively of late, conceding in eight of their last nine matches. Groningen, on the other hand, have been consistent in front of goal, scoring in ten consecutive games. Given this context, the match could very well be an open affair. With these stats in mind, a bet on a Groningen goal seems like a reasonable prediction.No comments
