AZ Alkmaar vs Galatasaray Prediction

For this Europa League fixture we go with Over 2.5 goals for AZ Alkmaar vs Galatasaray, at 75% confidence. In their last 5 matches, AZ Alkmaar's games produced 3.6 goals on average, 3 of them over 2.5. Galatasaray's games averaged 2.2, with 2 of 5 over the line. Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 5 of the 10 recent games went over 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Over 2.5.

The head-to-head points the other way: only 0 of their last 1 meetings finished over 2.5 goals. Older meetings say less about how these teams play now, so recent form counts for more in our numbers. At 75%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 4-1. The pick won.
