Football Bet of the Day: Lots of stings in the tale

Float Like a Butterfly: Vitesse are buzzing with goals at the moment

Vitesse Arnhem have flown into town and they could cause mayhem at the AFAS Stadion, says Tobias Gourlay

AZ Alkmaar v Vitesse
Saturday 17:30

Ruch Chorzow 1 Slask Wroclaw 0 in Poland yesterday. Grzegorz Kuswik stole the glory for the home side with a last-minute winner, but that didn't help us.

Dutch football has been as goal laden as ever this season, but one team has borne more fruit than any other. In the first 12 rounds of the Eredivisie, Vitesse Arnhem's games have delivered 48 goals. Their first six on the road have brought 27, almost evenly split between themselves (13) and their opponents (14).

This afternoon Vitesse visit the Cheese Farmers of AZ Alkmaar, whose last three at AFAS Stadion have finished 2-2, 3-3, 2-2. In total four of AZ's first six home games have brought Over 3.5 Goals.

Vitesse's away record is identical: the last three have gone Over 3.5 Goals and so have 4/6 overall this term. Since the start of last season Peter Bosz has guided 11/23 the same way.
