Eredivisie champions PSV Eindhoven take on AZ Alkmaar in the Johan Cruyff Shield for today’s bet of the day on 02/08/2026, as the 15-time winners seek to defend their crown in the traditional curtain-raiser.
AZ are seeking their first success since their 2009 triumph, while the action continues at WAFCON 2026, with Group D taking centre stage alongside other picks for today.
Bet of the Day: Sunday, August 2, 2026
Four of PSV Eindhoven’s five pre-season fixtures have produced three or more goals, except their first tune-up against Royal Antwerp, which finished 1-1.
Of the subsequent four fixtures, Peter Bosz’s team won two and drew one, scoring two against Rakow, seven in a 7-3 win over Union Saint-Gilloise and beating FC Eindhoven 3-0.
AZ, their opponent in the curtain-raiser, have seen at least three goals in four of their five pre-season fixtures, and the pattern should continue in a fixture that produced nine goals last season, with PSV winning 5-1 and 2-1.

Bet of the Day – Key Questions
What is the bet of the day?
A bet of the day is a recommended football prediction based on analysis of recent form, head-to-head records, team news, and market trends. It is selected because it offers a statistically sound case rather than because the odds are short.
How does Afrik-Foot select its bet of the day?
Our team compares both sides’ last five to ten fixtures, checks available players, examines head-to-head results, and considers the competition context before identifying the one market with the clearest statistical backing.
Are these predictions guaranteed to win?
No betting prediction is guaranteed. Our tips are statistically supported and clearly reasoned, but outcomes in football are never certain — anyone who claims otherwise is not being straight with you.
What is the difference between a single and an accumulator?
A single covers one outcome in one match. An accumulator chains several selections together, offering higher potential returns but a significantly lower probability of all selections winning. Our main bet is always a single. If you prefer combining selections, see our accumulator tips.
What is a banker bet?
A banker is the selection within an accumulator that you are most confident about — typically a short-priced favourite in a clearly one-sided fixture. It anchors the rest of the parlay but carries lower odds.
