After making it four consecutive winners in San Sebastian on Saturday, Sunday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me head to the goal-laden Dutch Eredivisie, and I’ve highlighted a goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.
⚽️ AZ vs Ajax
🇳🇱 Eredivise
⏰ Sunday 8 February, 13:30
Ajax will look to potentially climb up into second position in the Eredivise table on Sunday afternoon as they travel to the AFAS Stadion to take on seventh-placed AZ in what promises to be an entertaining encounter.
Lee-Roy Etcheld’s new side have fired in 36 goals across their opening 21 Eredivisie fixtures this campaign, with 21 (58%) of those coming across their eight encounters on home soil.
The Cheese Farmers have failed to score just once in the league this season, notching on multiple occasions in 10 (48%) of them – including in 6/10 (60%) in front of their supporters – and will be confident of breaching an Ajax backline that is yet to register a clean sheet on their Eredivisie road trips this campaign, shipping 2+ goals in 8/10 (80%) of them.
Fred Grim’s visitors have scored 41 goals across their opening 21 Eredivisie fixtures this campaign, with 22 (54%) of them coming on their travels.
De Godenzonen have made the net bulge in each of their opening 10 away matches in the Eredivisie this season – striking 2+ goals in an impressive 8/10 (80%) of them – and will look to breach an AZ backline that has kept just one clean sheet across their opening 10 Eredivisie contests on home soil, shipping 19 goals.

Bet of the Day
AZ’s opening nine Eredivisie fixtures on home soil have averaged a staggering 4.00 goals per game, with Both Teams to Score paying out in nine (90%) of them, whilst eight (80%) of them have gone Over 2.5 Goals (4-1, 3-3, 2-2, 2-1, 4-1, 1-5, 2-2, 1-0, 1-1 & 1-3).
Ajax’s opening 10 Eredivisie contests on the road this term have averaged a whopping 4.10 goals per game, with Both Teams to Score paying out in all 10 (100%) of them, whilst nine (90%) have gone Over 2.5 Goals (2-2, 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 3-2, 1-2, 3-1, 2-2, 2-3 & 2-2).
Ajax were thrashed 6-0 at this venue in the KNVB Beker just last month, and I’m expecting more goals on Sunday, with teams getting on the scoresheet.
