Mika Godts to Score +180

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 Under 5.5 Corners +107

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.
