Ajax to flop again on big night in Eredivisie
Eredivisie followers are in for an absolute treat tonight with the matches involving title favourites PSV ([2.16]) and Ajax ([2.28]) both live on ESPN, while those two and three others are available for Betfair customers to watch courtesy of Betfair Live Video.
PSV have a two-point lead over closest challengers FC Twente that even they probably weren't expecting after former frontrunners Ajax came up short in three of their last four games, and will surely sustain it with victory away to Vitesse Arnhem at [1.42].
Fred Rutten's side embarrassed title rivals of yesteryear Feyenoord 10-0 on Sunday and while complacency could creep in after such a sensational result, Vitesse have conceded 11 goals in clashes with PSV's top-four colleagues FC Twente, Roda and Ajax. The half-time/full-time double therefore looks a tasty proposition at [2.08].
Ajax simply have to get back on track against Heerenveen in an earlier kick-off given that they have a tough run of fixtures on the horizon, though it's a fixture that's produced several shocks in the past, with Heerenveen winning on three of their last six league visits, losing only twice in that time.
It has to be pointed out that Heerenveen have drifted down the table over the last 18 months after eight consecutive top-half finishes and they are yet to triumph away, however they held FC Twente and, given that Martin Jol's men have struggled of late, the Ajax lay is an appetising option at [1.26].
In the other Betfair Live Video ties, FC Twente should easily obtain a fourth straight win against Willem II, who are pointless in front of their fans, at [1.32], FC Groningen and ADO Den Haag are likely to draw a meeting between two top-half teams who lost at the weekend at [4.0] and De Graafschap are at risk of only their second home defeat at [1.81] when welcoming in-form AZ.
