AZ
All eyes will be on B-Veld Racing Genk when Genk and AZ Alkmaar face each other in a warm-up game. Following back-to-back wins over Eendr. Termien (8-1) and Eupen (2-0), Genk shared the spoils with Groningen in their last league fixture. The Jupiler League outfit aim to return to winning ways in preseason, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. Ghana international Joseph Paintsil, who found the net in the 1-1 draw with Groningen, is pushing for a start.
The Eredivisie side, on the other hand, head into Wednesday’s friendly following a 1-1 draw with Anderlecht. Since AZ have been scoring goals for fun in warm-up games as well, beating Oss 3-0 and NEC 4-1, and, taking everything into account, we believe that punters can find value in betting on both teams to score. In their last meeting in a friendly Genk defeated AZ Alkmaar 1-0, but a high-scoring affair is on the cards this time out.
