Ajax vs. Volendam

A high soccer total--but why? Volendam was promoted to the top tier of Netherlands soccer this season after a long run in the second-level Eerste Divisie, but the going has been tough, especially for the offense. Volendam is the second-worst team in the Eredivisie saddled with an offense that has scored 18 goals in 17 matches. That's tied for the third-fewest scored in the 18-team league. Volendam comes off of a 2-0 loss to Excelsior with 20 of their last 29 league games sailing UNDER 4 goals. In addition, 25 of their last 34 league road games have gone UNDER 4 goals. Fifth-ranked Ajax has home field with a defense that is seventh in the league allowing 19 goals in 17 matches. The offense will be without injured midfielder Florian Grillitsch. And seven of their last 11 matches have gone UNDER 4 goals. Take Ajax/Volendam UNDER the total - Max Play
