Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – Home win – 1.64.
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – AZ Alkmaar total goals over 1.5 – 1.69.
Match Prediction: Home win
AZ Alkmaar head coach Pascal Jansen will be looking for a massive last-gasp performance from his side, especially in attack, as they need to score at least one goal. Meanwhile, the visitors will be happy with a draw here. We expect Vitesse to sit back and rely on counter-attacks.
In addition, AZ Alkmaar have won their previous 3 home matches against Vitesse. Thus, we believe that Kaaskoppen will repeat the same scenario.
AZ Alkmaar total goals over 1.5
Preliminary review and match prediction for AZ Alkmaar vs Vitesse
Despite losing by just one goal, AZ Alkmaar played a very good match, and they deserved at least a point as they had more goal attempts (12 against 6) and better ball possession (63%) than the Vitesse.
However, Kaaskoppen play better at home than away, as 11 of their 18 total wins in the Eredivisie 2021/22 season have come to home ground.

On the other hand, the first leg match result was acceptable for head coach Thomas Letsch, but the performance needs to improve a lot to secure a UEFA Conference League spot. In fact, the Vitesse had just three shots on goal, scoring two.
Meanwhile, Vitesse have been pretty inconsistent in their recent away fixtures, as they have two wins, three losses, and five draws.
However, a one-goal advantage should give them confidence.
