03/21/2008 - Enschede, Netherlands (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ajax missed a big opportunity to close to within one point of league-leaders PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday, but the Amsterdam club must now turn its attention to finishing off the final five games of the season with maximum points.
The pressure is clearly on manager Adrie Koster's men, who must make up four points on PSV over the remaining five games.
While Ajax had to be disappointed by the 0-0 result, Koster still found positives in sharing the points and believes that his club is still very much in the running to keep PSV from lifting its fourth-straight Eredivisie title.
"We lacked the power to push through," Koster told the club's website. "However, I have to pay the team a compliment. The guys fought for what they were worth. We did all we could, but it wasn't enough to win."
The final stretch for Ajax begins on Sunday with an away contest against Twente.
While the club will need PSV to draw at least two of its final five games to have a chance, they must first take care of their own business and win out to put the pressure on PSV.
Ajax will face tough away contests against Twente and Heerenveen in the next two weeks before finishing up with a home contest against Graafschap, an away match at Groningen and another home game against Heracles.
The club has a lot of work ahead of itself, but it must concentrate on winning Sunday's game before anything else.
PSV will try to take another step towards the title with a home win against Groningen on Saturday, while the day's other matches feature Heerenveen hosting Roda, Utrecht invading Excelsior and AZ Alkmaar playing host to Graafschap.
Sunday's other fixtures include NEC traveling to Venlo, Sparta hosting Feyenoord and second-from-the-bottom Willem II entertaining Heracles.

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.
As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.

The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
