Vitesse vs AZ Alkmaar Predictions and Best Odds
AZ Alkmaar needs to win so they can continue their pursuit of the league-leading Feyenoord, but facing Vitesse will be a difficult task for the visiting team.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
This Vitesse vs AZ Alkmaar prediction is about the current form of both teams when it comes to scoring goals. The Arnhem team had only two matches in their last five when one team didn’t get on the scoresheet. Last weekend they lost to Ajax with the score standing at 2-1. For Alkmaar, their last seven games ended with both teams scoring at least one goal. The matches between these sides show the ultimate confidence when it comes to this option, eight out of their past ten matches covered BTTS. The only negative aspect is that Vitesse, when playing at home, in their last five matches had only two ‘both teams scoring’ games. That is not the problem for AZ, however, as they had four out of five away BTTS matches.
Draw
The h2h stat is the key for this bet. They have played three draws in their last ten games against each other, but regarding their current position in the rankings, AZ should be the favorite which is how bookmakers have translated the odds, however, Vitesse hasn’t lost at home to AZ since 2017, which is a streak of five games. This season, AZ has been the third-best away team in the league with eight wins, one draw, and three losses, while Vitesse’s home record stands at only two wins, four split games with five losses. They are the second-worst home team in the league, with only Cambuur having a record that is below Vitesse’s realm. The Arnhem team even has scored fewer goals at home than away, the difference is 13-15.

Vitesse vs AZ Alkmaar Lineups, Team News, and PreviewVitesse
The Arnhem outfit is once again in trouble losing two games in a row and having another title contender coming to town after Ajax. Vitesse was as close as possible to the relegation zone before pulling themselves out, but the problems are far from over with plenty of teams in danger of dropping to the lower division. Sondre Tronstad and Davy Propper are injured for Vitesse.
Provisional lineup: Scherpen, Wittek, Isimat-Mirin, Oroz, Flamingo, Domgjoni, Meulensteen, Kozlowski, van Ginkel, Manhoef, Bero.
AZ Alkmaar
They didn’t play last week which should be beneficial regarding the team getting some rest ahead of the continued title challenge the club is facing. Vitesse has been a problematic opponent for AZ over the years, especially when these teams are playing in Arnhem. AZ has plenty of injury issues for the match: Sem Westerveld, Sam Beukema, Bruno Martins Indi, Maxim Dekker, and Dani de Wit are most likely out of the tie.
Provisional lineup: Ryan, Kerkez, Chatzidiakos, Goes, Sugawara, Clasie, Mijnans, Reijnders, Karlsson, Pavlidis, Odgaard.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Player to Watch: Vangelis Pavlidis
It’s hard to argue that the Greek center-forward has been the focal point of Alkmaar’s season, especially when it comes to scoring. He leads the team with eleven goals which is not only the highest mark on the team but also puts Pavlidis as the joint-top scorer of the Eredivisie.
