Expert Betting Tips
RKC Waalwijk's downfall comes as a shock this season for a team that was competing in the top-flight for a whole five years. But now they find themselves as overwhelming favorites to suffer the drop. It'll take a lot of effort from them to beat Ajax, and in my point of view, they are nowhere near the conversation of causing an upset here.
This is a must-win situation for Ajax Amsterdam if they are to trim down the six-point gap at the top to a manageable three. There's no way I'm seeing them drop points here, especially in front of their home crowd where they've won seven of their eight games.
I expect the Amsterdammers to secure a comfortable win at home and dominate proceedings from start to finish. This is why I've backed them to win both halves here.
- Ajax Amsterdam To Win Both Halves for 1.90
- Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.90
- Total - Over 3.5 for 1.64
