Go Ahead Eagles vs AZ Alkmaar Top Predictions and Bets

Contents
Draw
The first prediction for Go Ahead Eagles is a draw full-time. AZ has finally started to gel after the winter break, they are keeping the pressure on the leaders Feyenoord. But, with the Eagles in a great run of form which saw them go undefeated in more than four months, this will be another cracking match that is tough to predict but could make up a decent draw which would be satisfying for both teams.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Our second prediction for Go Ahead Eagles vs Alkmaar is both teams will find the back of the net. The Eagles have scored in their last eight matches, and AZ has one of the best forward lines in Dutch football. Alkmaar's attack has been scoring goals in eleven straight matches including the Eredivisie and the European Conference League. When it comes to their h2h battle, BTTS was covered in three out of the last five games they played. Looking over the total value of their propensity to have games when both teams are scoring goals, Go Ahead Eagles had six games out of their past seven with those stats.

Team News, Provisional Lineups, and Preview
Go Ahead Eagles
The Eagles continued their amazing run of form with another drawn match which took their unbeaten streak to 13 league matches. They suffered their last loss in early September to Feyenoord. Since then, they have accumulated enough points to keep them happy in a fight to remain a relevant Eredivisie team, safe from relegation danger. Their efficiency rating is as high as ever, they have scored at least a goal in their last eight matches. However, danger awaits as their nemesis AZ Alkmaar will come to town. The Eagles are waiting to beat AZ for almost ten years. Bas Kuipers is still out and will be for the next month and a half at least because of a nagging elbow injury, while Philippe Rommens might be available for the upcoming tie with Alkmaar.
Provisional lineup: De Lange, Deijl, Idzes, Nauber, Amofa, Edvardsen, Llansana, Tekie, Willumsson, Lidberg, Adekanye.
AZ Alkmaar
The visiting team has passed the latest test in the Eredivisie by beating Fortuna Sittard 3-1, and now the next challenge awaits. AZ won three of their last four games, and they took advantage of leaders Feyenoord drawing against Ajax in the derby match to pass through another set of barriers and move only two points from first place. Most of the team is healthy except for Sam Beukema whose knee injury will keep him out of play until the back end of February. Sam Westerveld and Bruno Martins Indi are day-to-day with their health problems. The club from Alkmaar hasn't lost to Go Ahead Eagles since 2014, they have won seven of their last eight h2h matches with one draw in between those victories. Jens Odgaard will lead the charge for the guest squad once again, he is their top scorer and someone who gets a lot of attention from the opponent's defenses.
Provisional lineup: Ryan, Kerkez, Vanheusden, Chatzidiakos, Sugawara, Reijnders, Clasie, Karlsson, de Wit, Odgaard, Pavlidis.
