Go Ahead Eagles - Ajax predictions

Go Ahead Eagles will likely try to secure a draw at most. They are outclassed by Ajax, plain and simple, and most bookies online agree with this – after all, the betting odds on a home win for this match are 4.36.

Most bookies see Ajax as the favourites in this matchup, though it’s important to know things can go either way. Their victory is currently priced at 1.85, indicating that the hosts have a fighting chance.

Go Ahead Eagles are coming on the back of great success in their latest away game. Despite all the odds, they grabbed an early lead against Sparta Rotterdam and turned it into a surprise 1:2 victory.

Ajax’s previous outing was a decent performance on their end. They curtly earned three points against Fortuna Sittard by maintaining a lead throughout the match. The 1.43 made them huge favourites so the result didn’t come as much of a surprise.

Go Ahead Eagles gans are hoping for better defensive performance then what they’ve seen in away games. The previous three matches featured 6 conceded goals.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from Ajax in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

Go Ahead Eagles no doubt have their sights set on a UEFA qualification spot, but getting there won’t be easy. They’ll need to close a 3-point gap to get into the upper positions on the table, but a victory this Saturday seems like a long shot in its own right.

Ajax are 3 points behind European places and will be eager to add three more to their tally. Top bookmakers online set them as favourites to win and we suggest you back them at 1.85 betting odds.

Both teams will have to play with an above-average number of injures. Dean James, Finn Stokkers, Oliver Valaker Edvardsen are unavailable for the hosts. Conversely, Kenneth Taylor, Ahmetcan Kaplan, Sivert Mannsverk, Steven Berghuis, A. Van Axel Dongen, Mika Marcel Godts, Owen Wijndal will not be able to play on the visiting side. The odds still favour Ajax, though.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.67 at Betway.
