Tip and bets
We can't pick a favourite in this match. Hosts are in a slump now, team is losing positions in La Liga. Dutch team has a chance to clinch a play-off spot in the Europa League, but too many of their players are injuried. We are expecting good defensive performance from teams, both teams are good on defense, so we offer to place a bet on total under.
Our prediction - total under 2,5 goals
We think that both teams will fight for ball possession in this match. A draw will be a good result for the hosts, they should be able to avoid a defeat in this match.
Our second bet is on a draw
