FC Twente - Ajax predictions

With 2.52 on home win, the ground is level and three points are everyone’s to take. However, we’d still recommend backing FC Twente who should end up victorious in the end against Ajax.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against FC Twente on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

The home team are coming on the back of a somewhat underwhelming victory at Willem II, but a victory nonetheless. Most Eredivisie betting predictions expected that they would have a much easier time in that showdown, but they only managed a close 0:1 win after a match-long stalemate.

The away team recorded a narrow 3:2 victory at home in the previous round, which was better than even the most optimistic of expectations. After all, top online bookmakers priced their them winning at 2.38, so few believed they had a decent shot at winning even as the first half ended in a draw.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

Ajax don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

FC Twente are middle of the pack in the current standings, 1 point from European places. And though there’s plenty of time to change that. If they want a better placement, though, the fight to get there won’t be easy.

A successful kick-off to the season brought Ajax to a strong position on the table. They’re 5 points behind the leaders, and most of the season is still ahead of them. Still, this game’s hosts are looking rather strong as well, so this match will be an exciting one.

The latest example of a clash between these two sides we have is from last season when FC Twente managed to walk away with a solid victory and a 2+ goal difference. If the 2.52 betting odds for a home win are to be believed, most bookies are expecting them to repeat that success.

A string of injuries put a large chunk of the visitors’ lineup out of contention. They’ll have to make do without Sivert Mannsverk, Josip Šutalo, Gastón Ávila, Julian Rijkhoff, A. Van Axel Dongen. Given that they were already underdogs anyhow, this puts them at a severely disadvantaged position.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.70 if you use the Betway sportsbook.
