After a thorough assessment of the primary betting markets, APWin analysts have identified bets with strong value potential.

👉 Our prediction is: Over 2.5 goals in the match

After careful analysis of AZ and Ajax, we predict that the match will go over 2.5 goals. This means the two teams are likely to score 3 or more goals combined.

The two attacks have been playing quite well of late, which is why we feel this is the best bet for this upcoming match.

👉 Our prediction is: AZ win or draw

Going on the Double Chance market is a great way to get a much better shot at winning a bet. And our betting tip of taking AZ or draw in the Double Chance market is about as close to a safe bet as there is.

Based on their impressive home form this season, it's hard to see AZ not picking up at least a point in their own stadium. They only need to avoid defeat to Ajax to win the Double Chance bet, and we think they are more than up to the task.
