Best Tip: Ajax to win

A Eredivisie win on home turf for John van 't Schip's Ajax team win in the win / draw / win market is our prediction. Stats suggest they have what it takes, and they should have too much for the opposition. The odds from the bookmakers are pointing in the same direction, and when that happens you've got reason to feel confident. A Ajax win is the bet we'd suggest, even if a tight match is possible.
