Ajax - Willem II: Match preview
Ajax enter this season hoping to fight for a place in the top three, or even the top two, and try to return to the UEFA Champions League. Last season was once again not particularly convincing. They finished fifth in the table, collecting 56 points over 34 rounds. This season, they started with UEFA Conference League qualifying and overcame several opponents to reach the UEFA Conference League. In the five rounds of the new Eredivisie season, the team have won three times, drawn once and lost once. They currently have ten points and a game in hand. They are six points behind second place.
Last season, Willem II played in the second tier of Dutch football, the Eerste Divisie. They finished third in the table and entered the promotion play-offs. The route was not easy, but it worked out well for Willem II. The team returned to the top division, but their results so far have not been very successful. They have lost three times and drawn twice. They currently sit 17th with two points after five rounds and a 5:14 goal difference. If they do not want to be relegated straight back to the Eerste Divisie, they need to fight and collect points more consistently.

This is an important match for Ajax, as they need to win and not let their closest challengers pull away. This is a great opportunity to do exactly that. I am offering a bet on the home team's team total over 3 goals at odds of 1.62.
