I’ve loved betting on the Eerste Divisie this season, it’s just bonkers week after week. The initial league meeting between these sides produced four goals and saw BTTS as De Graafschap ran out 3-1 winners over Alkmaar - marking the fourth consecutive head-to-head meeting since 2024 that has seen BTTS.
Alkmaar are still battling away in the division, despite being quite a way off the playoff spots. They’ve seen BTTS in four of their last five matches across all competitions and their 17 away games have produced 67 goals (3.94 per game). They’ve only drawn two of these matches, their games on the road tend to be pretty open and end to end, which suits our selection, and will probably suit De Graafschap as well.
The home side have seen 60 goals across their 17 matches in front of their own supporters this season (3.52 per game). They drew 2-2 against Eindhoven last time out, which is perhaps a bit of complacency, as their spot in the playoffs is all but confirmed. That draw marked the fourth occasion across De Graafschap’s last five matches where they’ve seen BTTS - promising another end to end clash here.
