Football Bet of the Day: Ajax to put Heracles to the sword

Whistle While He Works: Frank de Boer should keep Ajax on the straight and narrow tonight

"Heracles have lost 14 away games since John Stegeman took charge early last season. In 11 of those 14 games, the margin of defeat was more than just a single goal"

Back Ajax -1.5 on the Asian Handicap @ 1.875/6 v Heracles

Tobias Gourlay anticipates a one-sided game at the Amsterdam Arena this evening

Ajax v Heracles
Tuesday 19:45

1-1 at Fatih Terim Stadium last night. Which means we're left with a turkey in Turkey.

Hopefully the Netherlands can serve up something a bit more appetising this evening. Top-of-the-table Ajax are on a winning streak of three while their opponents tonight, Heracles, have recently lost three in a row on the road in the Eredivisie.

Frank de Boer's hosts have won 9/10 at the Amsterdam Arena and the margin of victory has been at least two goals in 7/10.

Heracles have lost 14 away games since John Stegeman took charge early last season. In 11 of those 14 games, the margin of defeat was more than just a single goal. Across the last five seasons, they've lost this particular fixture by a combined score of 18-1. We fear for them again tonight.
