If you’re keen on betting across various leagues and markets, our Live Bets page showcases active accumulator bets and real-time tips.

Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest we don't have an obvious winner in this fixture, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Ajax and S.Rotterdam will score 2 or more goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Fred Grim or Maurice Steijn has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s recently either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.14 equating to about a 80% probability.
