1.86Tip and bets
In this matchup, we will give preference to the guests. The team has gained excellent form and beats even experienced opponents. Jong AZ wins away, but something always prevents them from winning at home. We do not think that the hosts will be able to break their losing streak in a match with the Amsterdammers, who have gained momentum.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Jong Ajax for 2.02
Bet on total
The visitors have finally managed to improve their attacking game and now they put on a real show in every match. The hosts are not going to sit back in defense either, so they will certainly be able to score. Most likely, the attack will prevail over the defense, and the fans will see a spectacular match.
Our prediction is total over 3.5 goals for 1.90
Bet on corners
In our opinion, the game should not be closed, so we will bet on them to play on the opposite courses and earn a lot of corners.
Our prediction is total over 10.5 corners for 2.03
