Understand that the bookies see the visitors clear favorites in this matchup.
However, to pick up Ajax’s straight victory here is quite risky.
In seven Eredivisie home games this season, NEC had two victories, three draws, and two defeats.
Meanwhile, Ajax will be searching for their first away league victory of the season, as they have three defeats and three draws thus far.
The Amsterdam-based club will seek to snap a seven-match losing skid on the road (W0 D3 L4). They last won away from home on May 16 against Groningen.
In addition, NEC haven’t won their last 10 matches in a row against Ajax.
Prediction: Ajax to win or draw
The previous h2h meetings between those teams have seen less than 2 goals. We expect to see in less than 4 goals in this clash.
Betting Tip: Total goals under 4
NEC Nijmegen will host Ajax this Sunday.
The hosts have drawn their last league match against the Go Ahead Eagles (1:1), a third tie in a row.
However, NEC are undefeated in their last five games in the Eredivisie (W1, D4). The Nijmegen side sits in 14th place with just 12 points.
Meanwhile, Ajax thrashed Vitesse (5:0) at home last weekend, his first big victory in this campaign.
The Amsterdam-based club extended their undefeated streak to four games (W3, D1).
We may say that Ajax is gaining momentum. We see a difference in their performance in their last games.
On the other side, before this matchup, Ajax suffered a 3:4 defeat by Marseille in the Europa League group stage. As a result, the French club ended Ajax’s Europa League hopes. However, there is still a chance to clinch 3rd place and qualify for the UEFA Conference League playoffs.
