Will Ajax’s European heroes triumph at home?

Latest odds for the tight Eredivisie title race

Ajax took a big step towards the Champions League final with a 1-0 away win over Tottenham Hotspur in their semi-final first leg on Tuesday.

The Dutch side have been a revelation in Europe this term, blowing away Real Madrid and Juventus on their way to the last four with scintillating football.

However, while Erik ten Hag’s young side are conquering the continent, they could still finish empty-handed at home.

They only lead PSV on goal difference at the top of the Eredivisie with just two games to play. And they take on Willem II in the KNVB Cup final on Sunday.

We’ve taken a look at their chances of domestic glory…

Will they end their wait for the title?

Ajax have won more Eredivisie titles than any other club (33), but they’ve now gone five years without finishing on top.

They face Utrecht and relegation-threatened De Graafschap in their remaining matches and our traders have them as 2/7 favourites.

If Ajax win both of those fixtures, it should be enough. They’re 10 ahead in terms of goal difference and it’s hard to see PSV making that gap up, especially without the injured Hirving Lozano. The Eindhoven side are 5/2 to defend the title.

How about the cup?

The Amsterdam-based club are also the most successful side in the history of the KNVB Cup with 18 wins. But they’ve not lifted this trophy for a while either, going back to 2010.
