Bet on total
Ajax are in excellent shape, play in their traditional attacking style and score a lot - the hosts will probably also be as aggressive as possible in front today. Waalwijk has serious problems in defense, and the guests are seriously inferior to their opponents in class, it will be almost impossible to stay without conceding goals. However, the tournament position obliges Waalwijk to take risks, only in one of the last six matches they failed to score against Ajax, a goal from the guests will not be a big surprise.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.85
Bet on corners
Ajax are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
