Ajax to win the Eredivisie has drifted from 11/4 to 8/1 with QuinnBet, as four bookmakers ease their odds. Read the full market move for Ajax now.
The odds on Ajax to win the Eredivisie have drifted out from 11/4 to 8/1 with QuinnBet, and that happened with a European win still fresh in the memory.
Ajax beat Atalanta 2-0 in the Conference League on 22 October, with both goals arriving late through Tolu Arokodare and Abdellah Ouazane.
Four bookmakers have eased their odds on Ajax, and 10/1 with Betway is now the best price around.
PSV head the market at 10/11 with Betway, which leaves Ajax third-shortest.
Striker Kasper Dolberg is sidelined with a knee injury, while Daley Blind and Steven Berghuis were back in training before the Atalanta game but not yet fit to feature.
Thursday night in Amsterdam ended well for Ajax, but they made hard work of it. Atalanta were held off until the closing stages before substitute Tolu Arokodare broke the deadlock in the 87th minute, and Abdellah Ouazane added the second in stoppage time. That 2-0 Conference League win followed a 5-2 thumping of FC Groningen on the road in the Eredivisie, so the goals are flowing. Going forward, this side clearly has punch. The market isn't buying it as a title push, though, and the price has gone the other way.
The reasons for the drift are about depth rather than quality. Head coach Míchel Sánchez is working without Kasper Dolberg, who picked up a knee injury in training, and he confirmed before the Atalanta game that Daley Blind and Steven Berghuis were back training but not ready to play. With Thursday nights in Europe now part of the routine, a squad that leaned on a late winner from the bench looks stretched for a long domestic campaign. That is the case behind four bookmakers easing their odds on Ajax, and it is a sensible one. Winning outings and a thin squad can both be true at once.
Eredivisie Win Market odds
Best odds 10/1 with Betway, worst 8/1 with QuinnBet and Bet Victor. Shopping around for Ajax is worth it, because Betway are clearly the most generous of the firms pricing them up.

Who is favourite to win the Eredivisie?
PSV are the favourites at a best price of 10/11 with Betway, so the bookmakers have them as more likely than not to finish top of the log. Feyenoord are the clear second choice, and Ajax sit third-shortest after their drift. AZ Alkmaar complete the leading group, and they are worth watching closely because they head to Amsterdam later this month. Looking at the overall picture, this is PSV's title to lose, and Ajax are being priced as outsiders.
PSV – 10/11 with Betway. The only side priced at odds-on, and the team everyone else is chasing.
Feyenoord – 9/4 with QuinnBet. Comfortably second in the betting and the main threat to the favourites.
Ajax – 10/1 with Betway. Drifted from 11/4, with four bookmakers easing their odds.
AZ Alkmaar – 16/1 with Betway. Further back, but they face Ajax before the end of October.

What's next for Ajax in the Eredivisie?
Ajax are straight back in league action with Sunday's trip to Sparta Rotterdam, and AZ Alkmaar come to Amsterdam the following Saturday. Those two fixtures will show whether the drift was an overreaction or a fair warning. Sánchez used a 4-2-3-1 against Atalanta with Julian Brandt starting centrally behind the striker, and creativity from that position is what has to keep the attack ticking while Dolberg is out. Ajax's goals have shown up across their recent outings, so the attack isn't the worry. The worry is whether the squad can carry it through a busy run. Our view: at 10/1 with Betway, Ajax to win the Eredivisie only appeals to punters happy to bet against PSV's grip on the market. A couple of convincing results and a fit Blind and Berghuis would make the drift look generous, but until then we'd leave it alone.
