Ajax are not the kind of favorite whose odds are so low there is no room left, which makes the -0.50 standard handicap more intriguing. With the line dropping to 1.80, it suggests there is support, but not enough to make it overly difficult to take. In European matches, when you have a strong team but the price has not been pushed too far, I prefer the simple win market rather than blindly chasing a deeper handicap.
