Ajax - Fortuna Sittard predictions

With the odds set at 1.51 for a home win, Ajax winning is clearly the most likely outcome in this matchup. Bigger upsets have happened, of course, but we wouldn’t expect anything but a decisive home win.

The current perspective makes the situation crystal clear. Given the superiority of Ajax and the 6.40 odds given to Fortuna Sittard to win, it is evident that anything but a home win would be an incredible shock.

The hosts’ supporters are quite confident after seeing the team thrash FC Utrecht in the previous round. Yes, they had the upper hand from the start thanks to home-field advantage and overall favourable betting odds, but even the most optimistic of fans didn’t see them dominating the game throughout, as they ended up doing. The final 2:0 score is quite decisive, too.

The away team played their previous Eredivisie matchup at home and walked away with a decisive $RESULT victory. It’s worth noting that the betting odds were not clearly in their favour despite the home-field disadvantage, but records show that they were in the lead for most of the runtime.

Ajax gans are hoping for better defensive performance then what they’ve seen in away games. The previous three matches featured 7 conceded goals.

Looking over their most recent appearances, Fortuna Sittard have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net. The past 3 home games saw them concede over 5 times.

Ajax may be the favourites in this matchup, but they’ve yet to prove they can conclusively defeat Fortuna Sittard this season. They had several opportunities to do so, and all ended with a tied result.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.54 odds offered at 888Sport.
