Football Bet of the Day: Ajax to light up Philips Stadium

PSV v Ajax
Sunday 15:45 (Live on Sky Sports Mix)

Philadelphia might not have flown in the end, but they did get off the ground against Montreal last night. The hosts went 3-0 up at Talen Energy Stadium, before our boys fought back for a 3-3 draw for themselves - and half a win for us.

We're taking on another handicap bet for our final column of the week. With three rounds of the Dutch Eredivisie season to go, Ajax have closed the gap on long-time leaders Feyenoord to just a single point.

This afternoon, the Amsterdam outfit travel to Eindhoven for a clash with PSV, who now look well settled in third place. Ajax's good form - they've scored 16 times in winning their last four league games - and greater need for the three points is persuading us to side with them.

Since the start of 2016, Ajax are W16-D6-L1 on the road (W5-D2-L0 in 2017). Although PSV have won nine straight at Philips Stadium, they lost to Feyenoord earlier in the campaign. A year ago, Ajax won this fixture 2-0 and we like the prices on them repeating their success this time around.
