Betting suggestion:
This is a promising duel that is worth a place in the quarter-finals of the KNVB Beker 2024/2025. AZ are unbeaten in 9 games this season, after 6 wins and 3 draws, but Ajax arrive on the back of 4 straight wins. There is a considerable taboo at stake: AZ have won the last 3 direct clashes against Ajax, the most recent of which took place on 08-12-2024 already in this Eredivisie season. More than that: in the last 6 clashes there were 4 wins for AZ and 2 draws, so the last time Ajax won was on 03-03-2022, precisely in a match valid for the KNVB Beker at the AZ stadium. Considering the need for victory and the teams' numbers, we will bet on Over 2.75 Asian Goals, a bet that has been partially or fully successful in 7 of AZ's 10 most recent home matches and also in 7 of Ajax's last 10 away games. from home.
