Key stats supporting our main match prediction (league matches):
The first step involves analysing the form and also getting an idea of the injury situation before making any football picks. Then it’s a case of consulting the latest Eredivisie stats and seeing if they can inform our opinion.
The best betting sites make it a 57.8% chance that our pick is settled as a winner. However, our experts have this number between 60-65% based on their in-depth research. It is therefore regarded as a value bet.
One way of securing bigger odds when it comes to Ajax winning is by selecting them on the Double Result market. They need to be leading at the interval and the full-time whistle.
