Export data from website

I am trying to export betting odds from the following link: https://www.unibet.eu/betting/sports/filter/football/netherlands/eredivisie/matches
The plan is to export these number (let's say) every hour and then analyse how they change over time. Right now I have the following code with which I have imported the data from this link.
block = urlread('https://www.unibet.eu/betting/sports/filter/football/netherlands/eredivisie/matches');
The problem now is that I do not have the knowledge to extract the relevant data. The relevant data would be:
The teams that are playing, the date and time at which they are playing, the odds that unibet gives.
Does anyone know how to do this and is willing to help me with this problem?
Thank you for reading.

That might not be required. Some websites use Javascript to dynamically load data. The backend is usually loaded in JSON format. If you use your browser debugging tools (ctrl+shift+i on Chrome) you might be able to find the direct URL.
My first try turned up a page like this:
If this is indeed the correct URL you only have to find you if you need to update that ncid field.
