How our call settled

Our pick, Ajax to win at locked odds 1.296, lost. It was published with 75% confidence, leaving a 25% chance for the other outcomes, and one of them came in.

Before the start the best price on Ajax to win had drifted from 1.296 to 1.38, so the market moved away from this pick after it was published.

Analysis

Ajax take on N.E.C. in the Eredivisie on 10 October 2026 as clear market favourites, offered at 1.296. Once the margin is taken out, the bookmaker line implies 73.3% for Ajax, 16.1% for the draw and 10.6% for N.E.C., whose price is 9.00.

Across all competitions combined, the clubs have met 15 times since 2014. Ajax won 8 of them, N.E.C. won 1 and 6 were drawn, tied or without a result, the last on 21 February 2026 in the Eredivisie. We have no recent results for either club.

Ajax to win is the pick, rated at 75% confidence. Ajax are the market favourite once the margin is removed, and the head-to-head record, which leans their way, lifted the market chance of 73.3% by 1.8 points. What we cannot see, from team selection to conditions, is why the call stops well short of a foregone conclusion.
