AZ Alkmaar v Celtic betting tips: Dutch plan to end Hoops’ dreams

AZ Alkmaar are one of the growing forces in the Netherlands, following their third-place finish in the Eredivisie last season.

They are 27/20 to win the second leg while the draw is available at 13/5 in the AZ Alkmaar v Celtic betting tips.

AZ Alkmaar v Celtic head-to-head

Celtic have scored at least once in each of their nine competitive games this season and have kept clean sheets in four of their last five. They are 13/4 to win but concede and it is 11/2 they win to nil.

Postecoglou, the former Australia boss, has his sights firmly set on a fifth consecutive Europa League group-stage appearance for Celtic.

The odds are 4/7 for Celtic to win or draw the game in the Double Chance market.

AZ Alkmaar started the new Eredivisie season last week with a shock 1-0 defeat at RKC Waalwijk but had the luxury of resting players at the weekend.

They kept three consecutive clean sheets in their last three competitive games last season and are 21/5 to win to nil in the AZ Alkmaar v Celtic betting tips.
