There's a big game at the top of the Dutch Eredivisie and Tobias Gourlay's got high hopes for it

Slask weren't up to the task in Poland last night. Well, they were - they won 1-0. But they weren't up to our Over 2.5 Goals challenge.

We march on. To the Netherlands, where one of Sunday's lunchtime games has tickled our fancy. Second-placed Ajax are headed to third-placed AZ Alkmaar and we reckon it could be a pre-Christmas cracker. Eight of their last 10 Eredivisie meetings have delivered Over 3.5 Goals, including 4/5 at AZ's AFAS Stadion and that's our bet for today.

John van den Brom's Cheeseheads have scored 13 in four on home turf recently. Since the gaffer arrived, more than half of their home matches have produced Over 3.5 Goals (31/56) and this one looks primed to join the serried ranks.

Marcel Keizer's visitors have scored 22 in five on the road. All of those matches have gone Over 3.5 Goals in total and we like the price on Sunday's game making it six high scorers in a row.
