Heracles - Ajax predictions

There is a big reason why Heracles are given 6.50 to win this game. They stand little to no chance emerging victorious against Ajax and anything but their defeat would be considered a miracle.

Priced at very short odds of 1.50, and away win seems the most logical outcome here. Heracles may be hoping to pull off a draw or surprise win, but both of these are longshots.

Heracles supporters were in for a shocker last time out at their stadium. Heracles went behind after the first 45 minutes of their match against FC Volendam despite being widely expected to run riot against their rivals. Instead, they were forced to fight their way back to earn a point against a resilient opponent.

Ajax’s previous outing was a decent performance on their end. They curtly earned three points against RKC Waalwijk by maintaining a lead throughout the match. The 1.29 made them huge favourites so the result didn’t come as much of a surprise.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Heracles’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Ajax don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

Ajax fans are hoping that the match at HeraclesS will be a step towards improving their standing. They still have a decent shot at reaching the Europa League qualifying spots, but they’ll need to move before its too late.

It’s clear that Ajax are the favourites in this matchup, and they have the numbers to back that up. They faced Heracles earlier this season and snagged a decisive victory which they’ll be looking to repeat.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.48 odds offered at 888Sport.
