Struggling Ajax will host Twente in Amsterdam on matchday 16 of 34 in the Eredivisie. The venue: Amsterdan ArenA. Kick-off: 21:00 GMT.
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Offside outcome: Ajax — 1.8
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Combo: Both teams to score + Ajax to win — 2.5
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Twente’s total shots on target: Over 2.5 — 1.7
Ajax are expected to attack more as they play at home and because Twente are well-organised at the back, we are likely to see the home side finish the game with more offsides. Ajax’s forwards, on a few occasions, could move too soon during attacks.
Ajax are likely to bounce back to Eredivisie winning ways with a win over Twente but are unlikely to keep a clean sheet because Twente have scored in almost every game they have played so far this season.
Ajax are struggling at the back and while they are the favourites to win this game, there’s a massive chance Twente could hit the ball on target on at least three occasions. They managed over 5 shots on target in their last game.
Ajax are winless in their last three games in the Eredivisie. As a result, they dropped to the 2nd position after three draws in a row. However a win over
will take them level on points (34) as league leaders Feyenoord.
They have the best defence in the league this season, having conceded only 9 goals in 15 matches. They occupy the 4th position with 30 points after 15 matches. A win over Ajax will see them leapfrog the Amsterdam side into the 2nd position.
Ajax have struggled in the league in recent weeks and have only one win to show for in their last five matches. Twente have impressed but the odds are against them winning this game.
Both teams are expected to get on the scoreboard, thanks to Ajax’s porous backline, but there’s a chance this could occur in the first half.
Back Ajax to win the game at full time as they are the favourites to get the win.
