✨ Prediction

We’re of the opinion that AZ will most probably stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

At the other end, FC Volendam won’t find it easy to find the back of the net but do we see them being dangerous for periods.

We can therefore see a decent 3-1 margin for AZ at the end of this one.
