FC Volendam - Ajax predictions

FC Volendam are the definition of underdogs in this fixture. With betting odds of 8.00, no punter will dare backing them up against Ajax. It is a wise decision as well as hosts will have an extremely difficult task surviving this clash.

Taking a 1.36 bet on an away game can often be risky but when it comes to Ajax ahead of their trip to FC Volendam, this match can be a great addition to your betting slip.

FC Volendam are coming off from a Sparta Rotterdam away defeat in the last round of the Eredivisie. It was a difficult game for them but it’s fair to say they managed to beat the odds in a way. Having been made overwhelming underdogs, they weren’t really expected to hold the terms level for the entire 45 minutes and go down with only a one-goal difference.

Those of you who backed Ajax to win their last Eredivisie game at 1.29 betting odds will have been left empty-handed. Though they were playing and home as firm favourites, they failed to do anything more than to settle at a halftime stalemate - – and another one at the end - 2:2.

The first step FC Volendam need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Eredivisie outings.

The clock is ticking on FC Volendam who remain locked in the relegation battle. With 32 rounds behind us already, the hosts will have their work cut out for them in the Eredivisie. At 8.00 betting odds offered at online bookmakers on home win, the numbers are a warning sign for the FC Volendam fans.

Ajax won this matchup last season, leading most bookies to mark them as the favourites this Sunday. More importantly, it was a very convincing victory, and they likely won’t be satisfied with anything less than a 2-goal lead again.

Both sides have been heavily affected by recent injuries. Bilal Ould-Chikh, Joey Antonioli, Xavier Mbuyamba, Robert Muhren, Garang Kuol, Robin Maulun will not be playing on the home side, while Steven Berghuis, Brian Brobbey, Jay Gorter, A. Van Axel Dongen, Kristian Hlynsson, Jordan Henderson are unavailable for the visitors.

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 1.29 if you use the Betway sportsbook.
