AZ Alkmaar vs Galatasaray Betting Tips: BTTS & Over 2.5 Goals 

An entertaining occasion seems likely at AFAS Stadion with both teams involved in a series of high-scoring outcomes in recent weeks. 

AZ Alkmaar come into this Europa League showdown with confidence buoyed after a 3:1 victory over Fenerbahce in their last European outing. The Cheese Farmers have been a reliable choice for goals chaers with each of their last five games across all competitions seeing both teams score and a minimum of three goals scored. 

At the AFAS Stadion, AZ have been a particularly reliable source of goals. Each of their last seven home fixtures saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals with a total of 32 goals scored in those fixtures.

Galatasaray arrive in Alkmaar in scintillating form, unbeaten in their last 14 matches in all competitions, with 12 wins picked up during that unvanquished run, including each of their last seven.

Like AZ, plenty of goals can be expected when the Turks are in action. Galatasaray saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored in nine of their last 12 matches, including all four Europa League group fixtures. In fact, each of Gala´s last seven UEL matches saw both outcomes. 

On the road, Okan Buruk´s men were held to a 2:2 draw at Rigas earlier this season, and while in great form, often struggles in European road fixtures.

While it´s tough to pick a winner on Thursday, a high-scoring outcome where both teams get on the scoresheet looks extremely likely.
