Ajax Win and Over 2.5 Goals

Sparta Rotterdam +2 Goals Handicap
During the last five h2h meetings, Sparta lost by two or fewer goals and covered the suggested handicap. Last season at home, Sparta most just once by more than two goals.
Correct Score Score Bet 1-2, 1-3, 1-4
In the last ten games between Sparta and Ajax, the visitors won by one of these scores four times. In addition, both teams had seven matches that ended by one of these scores last season.
Sparta Rotterdam
After a hattrick of wins in the final three rounds of last season’s Eredivisie campaign, Sparta Rotterdam are still looking for their first win this season. In fact, picking up ten points from their last four matches is what kept the Castle Lords in the top flight after finishing 14th.
In their last match, coach Maurice Steijn saw his team take the lead against AZ Alkmaar but couldn’t maintain it and lost 2-3. Looking back at last season, Sparta conceded an equalizer goal in 43% of their games.
Ajax
The reigning champions Ajax were back to business as usual winning their opening two matches. Despite changing their coach and transferring some of their players, that didn’t stop Ajax from extending their undefeated run to 12 in the Eredivisie.
Last season, Ajax averaged almost three goals per game and already in the first two games, they scored nine goals. However, the new coach Alfred Schreuder may think of strengthening his defense after conceding three goals in two games after they conceded 0.54 goals per game in all of the last campaign.
The odds for an Ajax win is 1.26 which is quite low for us to consider it as our prediction. However, combining the Ajax win with the bet over 2.5 goals which has a 70% probability, will have better returns for our stake.
