Match preview

Our model makes Ajax clear favourites, giving them a 72% chance of winning against 15% for the draw.

Our fair price for "Home win" is 1.38 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 3.9 goals in total (2.81 for Ajax, 1.11 for NEC Nijmegen), which points to Over 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Ajax sit 2nd on 24 points; NEC Nijmegen are 13th on 11.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
