Expect an action-packed encounter in Alkmaar on Thursday

After falling a Celtic goal short on Wednesday night, Thursday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me drop down to the Europa League, and I’ve highlighted a goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.

⚽️ AZ ???????? vs Galatasaray ????????

???????? Europa League

⏰ Thursday 28 November, 17:45

AZ will aim to make it three wins from three at home in the newly-formed league phase of the Europa League as they welcome third-placed Galatasaray to the AFAS Stadion

On Thursday evening, in a fixture that appeals to me for goals.

Maarten Martens’s hosts have scored 31 goals across their opening 17 Eredivisie and Europa League fixtures this season, with 21 (68%) of them coming on home soil.

The Cheese Farmers have found the back of the net in all eight (100%) of their league and European contests in front of their supporters, notching on multiple occasions in four (50%) of them – including in both Europa League encounters – and will look to continue their impressive goal-scoring record at home against a Galatasaray defence that is yet to record a clean sheet in any of their six European fixtures this season, shipping multiple goals in four (67%) of them.

Okan Buruk’s visitors have scored an eye-catching 47 goals across their opening 18 domestic and European fixtures this campaign, with 18 (38%) of them coming across their seven road trips.

The Aslan have failed to score in just one of those 18 encounters, firing two or more goals in a remarkable 15 (83%) of them – including in all four (100%) in the league phase of the Europa League – and will be confident of adding to impressive goal-tally against an AZ defence that is without a clean sheet in each of their past seven Eredivisie and Europa League contests on home soil, shipping multiple goals in five of their last six.

Bet of the Day

AZ’s opening eight Eredivisie and Europa League fixtures in front of their supporters this campaign have averaged a staggering 4.13 goals per game, with Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals landing in each of their previous seven – and given the same has paid out in 5/6 (83%) of Galatasaray’s European contests this term, including in 4/4 (100%) in the Europa League – I’m happy to have a play on there being a minimum of three strikes in Alkmaar on Thursday evening, with both teams contributing.

• Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals
• Pays 5/6 (Betway)
