Van the man has returned to form

Turkish giants Fenerbahce will welcome Frank de Boer’s Ajax side to Istanbul for their latest Europa League clash this season in what should be an exciting Group A tussle, and Coral have an amazing bet of the day for you to enjoy, with Robin van Persie 11/4 to score anytime in a home victory.

This pick is definitely worth a wager at a max stake of £20, as a potential profit of £55 is on offer, with Fenerbahce holding home advantage and deadly Dutchman Van Persie having enjoyed a return to form after previous frustration at international level.

Netherlands international hitman Van Persie struck an incredible 30-yard free-kick in his previous club appearance to earn his side a vital 1-0 triumph over Kayserispor, seeing his clinical eye for goal return at a momentous time.

The former Arsenal and Manchester United sharpshooter has now bagged five goals in all competitions for club and country this campaign, with Fenerbahce having lost just once when he has been on the scoresheet this term.
