AZ Alkmaar - Ajax predictions

AZ Alkmaar should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Ajax can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

Ajax is known for their determination and we expect them to give their all in pursuit of a win in this match.

The 1:2 victory AZ Alkmaar recorded last round was in line with the 4.73 away win betting odds, but the road there wasn’t as straightforward as expected. They fell behind in the first half and barely managed to carve out a victory before the end.

Sportsbooks predicted things to go well for Ajax in the previous round – they had a solid lead in a home game against NEC. The second half caught them off guard, however, and they had to settle for a 2:2 draw in a home game.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for Ajax lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

Ajax have been making steady progress in this Eredivisie campaign, but are struggling to get into one of the Europa League qualifying positions. The match this Sunday is hardly an opportunity to earn the 3 points they’ll need. Top betting sites are pricing an away win at a considerable 3.52.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 2.04 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, AZ Alkmaar won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Steven Bergwijn, A. Van Axel Dongen, Mika Marcel Godts are the players that will be missing, which makes the Ajax lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

An Over 3.5 Goals wager here can net you considerably better results than the Over 2.5 counterpart, and the probability of winning remains almost as strong. The 2.15 odds offered at 1xbet are great for value, too.
