Ajax - Feyenoord predictions

With the odds slightly in the hosts’ favour, they have a decent shot at walking away with 3 points. Still, Feyenoord can pull off both a win or a draw, so the hosts can’t afford to let their guard down.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Feyenoord would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

Most online bookmakers expected Ajax to win the previous round with ease, and it seems they were right. They were playing as visitors at SC Heerenveen but were largely seen as the stronger team – which they proved to be true with an early lead and a match-long dominance.

Feyenoord are coming off from a surprising away draw at Willem II in the last round of the Eredivisie. Despite taking an early lead, they relaxed in the second half and ended up sharing the spoils in a 1:1 draw, even though the best bookmakers online expected them to win.

Ajax are on a bit of a streak when it comes to scoring. With more than 6 over their last 3 matches, fans are feeling fairly confident in their goal-scoring ability. Likewise, bookmakers online are fairly confident the Sunday match will yield Over 4.5 goals.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Feyenoord have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Eredivisie. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Ajax are doing quite well so far with a strong 2nd position on the table, which guarantees Champions League football. There’s still plenty of time left until the end of the season – plenty of chances for them to move up to first or lose their current spot. Either way, they’ll be highly motivated this Sunday.

Despite some decent performances in the season so far, Feyenoord supporters are worried that their luck is about to turn. They’re not very likely to earn any points in Sportpark De Wachtelenberg this Sunday, though a Champions League qualifying spot is just 5 points away.

Ajax already won against Feyenoord this season, although it was a rather narrow victory. They’ll have the home-field advantage this time, though, which puts them in the position of favourites.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Justin Bijlow, Calvin Stengs, Ramiz Zerrouki, Jordan Lotomba are the players that will be missing, which makes the Feyenoord lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
