⭐ Editor's Pick
AZ Alkmaar are clear favourites here on account of their superior squad quality. That said, Fortuna Sittard have made a solid start to the season and at home they are capable of causing problems even for one of the Eredivisie's leading sides. Their home matches also tend to produce goals at both ends: Fortuna have scored and conceded in each of their previous 13 home games. Our pick is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 1:2.
