AZ Alkmaar has been struggling to get wins lately, with their last five results all being draws or losses. They just had three draws in a row, but all of those were high-scoring, so there is plenty of action. Utrecht is also in a tough patch, with three losses in their last five games and just one win. Recent meetings between these teams have often been full of goals, including a wild 5-5 draw a couple of years ago.

This match looks quite open, as both teams are not in top shape and their recent games have been wide open. Since AZ is playing at home and Utrecht has been losing a lot, AZ Alkmaar should be the stronger bet to win this time.
