Best Tip: Ajax to win

As training goes on this week and the Ajax players ready themselves for this fixture, the bookies have predicted a victory for them. The odds and our pre-match statistics below suggest the same, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) data we factor into our predictive algorithms. The Johan Cruijff Arena has rarely been a successful away day for Heerenveen in the past, and we we think that will be the case again on Sunday afternoon. A win / draw / win home win is the bet.
