Stake: 10/10


Sparta will visit Alkmaar tonight. The hosts lost this weekend their away match against NAC Breda after European obligations. Gert-Jan Verbeek is known for his rough training methods, so his players are always a bit exhausted when playing much matches in the beginning of the season. Sparta won a difficult away-match against Fortuna. Sparta finally played a good match and seem to be in the momentum. I think this match can be close, a suprise for Sparta is not unthinkable. Sparta is top Jupiler, AZ subtop Eredivisie. I think +1.5AH represents a bit value.

AZ won their last match easily with 3-0 from Go Ahead Eagles. In the previous round they won the first match away impressive but lost the last game which was very chaotic and played in two parts as the stadium was on fire during the game.
I think it is possible for AZ to grab some points to Holland.
I have seen the highlights of Maccabi Haifa last round match and they dominated and certainly do not have a bad team. Altough I believe the AZ squad has more quality. +0.5 represents some value in my opinion.
