The hosts have fallen significantly behind the leaders and are hoping to secure three points in their match against Groningen. Ajax is likely to achieve this, as the team is in excellent form and clearly stronger on paper than their opponents. We anticipate a convincing victory for the Amsterdam club.
Our prediction is an Asian handicap (-1.5) on Ajax at 1.90

In this match, we anticipate a significant advantage for the stronger and more decorated Ajax, prompting us to make another wager on their corner performance.
Our prediction is an Asian handicap (-2.5) on corners for Ajax with odds of 1.65.
