1.27Tip and bets
Ajax is encountering issues at the start of the season, and despite their imminent Europa League match against Slavia Prague, they are unlikely to make extensive lineup changes as they aim for a solid victory. Valwijk appears utterly hopeless, struggling in match after match, making it nearly impossible for them to challenge a giant like Ajax in their current form.
We believe the hosts have no chance. Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Ajax. This bet is offered at odds of 1.89.
Total Bet
Ajax will certainly aim for victory today and is likely to launch attacks with considerable force right from the start. The Amsterdam team has been scoring frequently and consistently lately, and the defense of Valwijk isn't expected to pose a significant challenge. However, the home team will likely take risks as there is no room for retreat, making this match potentially vibrant and high-scoring.
Bet – total over 3.5 goals. This wager is offered at 2.15
Corner Bet
Ajax is the favorite and will probably spend all 90 minutes on the attack – they should confidently win the corner count.
Bet – Asian handicap (-3) on corners for Ajax. This wager is available at 1.89
