One concrete angle to consider is the strong trend of both teams scoring, as evidenced by the fact that both teams have found the net in eight of their last ten meetings. With Den Bosch's home advantage and Jong Ajax's defensive vulnerabilities, backing both teams to score (BTTS) at odds of 1.73 could be a prudent choice.
