AZ hosts Ajax at the AFAS Stadion in Alkmaar in a match from the 1/8-finals of the Dutch KNVB Beker. This is arguably the most interesting game from this phase of the competition. Let’s preview it in our Mastering football Asian handicap betting.

With 20 titles won, Ajax are the top team in the history of the Dutch Cup. But they didn’t have much luck in the draw – to face AZ away from home. The good news is that Francesco Farioli’s team is in a pretty good shape – four wins in the last four matches in all competitions.

In the KNVB Beker Ajax faced Telstar in the 1/16-finals, and celebrated a 2-0 win at home. Daniele Rugani and Chuba Akpom scored for the former European champions. Far from surprising, Ajax didn’t have any problems against this opponent, especially at home.

This game is a chance for the striker Brian Brobbey to prove his worth. The 22-years old forward is criticised because of his lack of goals. So far Brobbey has scored just one Eredivisie goal this season.

AZ are 5th in the Eredivisie standings, but 9 points behind their next opponent in the KNVB Beker. Maarten Martens’ team is also in good shape, though – AZ are unbeaten in all competitions since November.

In the Dutch Cup they progressed after a 3-1 win at home against Groningen. So far in their history De Kaasboeren have won the KNVB Beker four times. For the last time it happened in 2013 when they beat PSV in the final.

That’s the Mastering football Asian handicap betting guide for the KNVB Beker 1/8-finals match between AZ and Ajax. Two of the best Dutch teams are facing each other. AZ have the home advantage, but Ajax are a little better this season. Let’s see how this one will play out!
