Feyenoord - Ajax predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Ajax are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Feyenoord should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Ajax will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

With an HT/FT win on record from the previous round, Feyenoord’s form seems to be in solid shape. They were deemed the favourites in that game from the get-go, but winning an away game 0:2 is always a satisfying result.

As huge favourites to win their last Eredivisie match, Ajax were expected to run riot over Willem II. They did end up recording an HT/FT win but the 1:0 result is not many fans expected.

Feyenoord have managed to bag 9 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Stadion Feijenoord are expecting a lot of action this time around.

This match might present a rare opportunity to go for an Over 4.5 Goals bet. Ajax have netted 8 goals in each of their previous 3 games – which is quite a track record.

This matchup was very one-sided last season, and most bookies are expecting Feyenoord to continue their spree of dominance. They won against Ajax more than once, and even managed to record a solid goal difference in each instance.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Gjivai Zechiël, Ayase Ueda, Jordan Lotomba will have to sit this one out, while Ajax will have to make do without Sivert Mannsverk, Kristian Hlynsson, Gastón Ávila, Steven Berghuis, Julian Rijkhoff, A. Van Axel Dongen.

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
