Excelsior
Ajax are available at +700 to win by a 2-1 scoreline. Correct score betting allows us to bet at bigger odds and it’s also a fun type of wager.
Player Prop Picks
Oliver Edvardsen (Ajax) has failed to record a shot on goal in seven consecutive Eredivisie matches. There’s a reasonable prospect that he will fall short of the mark, with odds of +115 on offer that he doesn’t cover the Shots on Target line.

Mika Godts (Ajax) has been on the scoresheet in his past three Eredivisie games. We believe that there is merit in backing him for an Anytime Goalscorer prop wager at +180 which means we need to him to be on the scoresheet.

Corners Prediction
Ajax have not covered the 5.5 corners line in seven consecutive games, with Excelsior conceding under 5.5 corners in their past two away matches. It looks a logical viewpoint that the Team Corners line won’t be reached and you can land a price of +107 for this Ajax wager.
