Jong AZ Alkmaar v Jong Ajax Amsterdam
Thursday 20:00

ADO Den Haag and Roda JC failed to live up to our expectations in the Netherlands last night. The visitors won 1-0 to leave us well short on our goals bet.

We're sticking in the Dutch Eerste Divisie today and hoping to find the goals that deserted us yesterday. Seventh-placed Jong AZ are hosting 10th-placed Jong Ajax and we're ready to back Over 3.5 Goals once more.

Both teams have scored in all of the last six meetings of these two. Visiting Ajax have served up 12 goals across their last two away trips this season (4-3, 3-2). Going back into last season, 15/25 of their road games have delivered Over 3.5 Goals.

Hosts AZ are favourites for this one, having scored at least twice in 6/7 home games so far this season. Five of those matches have delivered Over 3.5 Goals and, with Ajax looking vulnerable at the back (conceding 10 in 4 on the road), we'll take AZ to serve up another high scorer on home turf.
