Ajax - Heracles predictions

With top online bookmakers pricing a home win at odds of 1.18, 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.

From the present standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Ajax and the 15.00 odds given to Heracles to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be an unexpected upset.

Ajax didn’t exactly shine in the previous round when they played at Go Ahead Eagles . The whole match was a rather uneventful affair, and both teams went home with a single point after a 2:2 stalemate.

Heracles are coming on the back of a disappointing draw in their previous Eredivisie matchup, which they played as the home team. They had the advantage of playing at home, but the odds never clearly marked them as the favourites. It makes sense that neither side managed to gain the upper hand throughout the out.

The 1.18 betting odds for a home win paint the hosts as the favourites in this matchup, and the head-to-head stats agree. For example, the two teams clashed last season, and Ajax won with a considerable goal advantage.

Sunday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

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 odds offered at 1xbet.
