Ajax - Go Ahead Eagles predictions

The home team is the obvious choice for anyone looking to bet on favourites. The match is not completely one-sided, though, which is why you may actually get worthwhile returns.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is unambiguous. Considering the strength of Ajax and the 5.03 odds given to Go Ahead Eagles to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a remarkable upset.

The home team are coming on the back of a convincing home victory against Heracles last round. They took the lead early and went on to win the match 4:0, which was hardly surprising considering most Eredivisie betting predictions saw them as the clear favourites.

Last round we saw Go Ahead Eagles play a relatively balanced matchup against Sparta Rotterdam. They had the advantage of playing at home, but victory was by no means assured at kick-off. However, records show that they maintained a steady lead throughout, ultimately ending the bout with a $RESULT home win.

Ajax have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Eredivisie engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

The hosts have been playing great so far, but they have a lot to lose and the pressure is mounting as the season progresses. The odds are in their favour with this match, though, and their table-leading position seems secure for now.

Go Ahead Eagles’s position as 7th in the standings is neither here nor there, but it’s also far from set in stone. There’s half of the season to look forward to – though betting predictions are rather pessimistic about their chances going forward.

With several tied games behind them, the teams will be looking to switch things up to get the upper hand. Several matches between Ajax and Go Ahead Eagles ended in a draw this season alone, so it’s clear they’ll need to get creative – especially the hosts.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Jay Gorter, A. Van Axel Dongen, Brian Brobbey, Youri Baas for the hosts, and Finn Stokkers, Luca Everink, Oscar Pettersson for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

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.
