Latest Full-Time Odds Suggest Ajax Victory

The bookies have Ajax as -156 favourites for this Eredivisie clash, with the Full-Time Result betting odds implying that they are 61% likely to win. FC Utrecht are an outside chance to get the job done and you can now back them at +350.

Backing Ajax -0.75 at -123 on the Asian Handicap line means they need to win by two goals or more against Utrecht for a full payout. A one-goal success would see you get paid out on the -0.5 part and money back on the -1.0 part.

The Total Goals market indicates that Over 2.5 Goals is the betting favourite right now. The Yes option in the Both Teams to Score market is regarded as the most likely outcome and is trading at -263.
