Ajax - Heracles betting tips and odds

With top online bookmakers pricing a home win at odds of 1.08, it’s hard to expect anything other than a decisive Ajax victory. It’s a uniquely one-sided match – which rarely translates to a lot of excitement in the pitch.

Considering what they’re up against, Heracles can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 41.00 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

The previous 1:2 victory we saw from Ajax may not have been as decisive as was expected, but it netted them 3 points either way. An early advantage against PSV led them straight into an away win.

Heracles can’t be too happy with their latest Eredivisie result. They were the slightly stronger team in that matchup against Go Ahead Eagles and took the lead as expected. Unfortunately, the lead crumbled away in the second half, resulting in a 1:1 draw.

With 5 goals over the previous 3 matches, Ajax attackers are nothing to be scoffed at. If the trend continues, we’ll see some rather impressive records from then by the end of the season.

With their most recent track record in mind, Heracles tend to perform quite well offensively. Their previous 3 home games featured at least 5 goals in total.

If there’s one thing to note about the history of this matchup, it’s a fact their matches tend to end in a draw. Several matches this season ended inconclusively, so it neems neither team is able to reliably tip the scales one way or another.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Maarten Stekelenburg, Sean Klaiber, Kudus Mohammed for the hosts, and Kasper Lunding, Ismail Azzaoui, Justin Hoogma for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.25, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
