PEC Zwolle - Ajax predictions

A mere glance at the betting odds for this match should tell you most you need to know. A home win here is almost an impossible outcome, so it’s not very likely we’ll see solid betting opportunities in the 1X2 market.

Ajax are expected to have no hiccups going past PEC Zwolle in this match and betting odds offered by the world’s top bookmakers are there to confirm it.

PEC Zwolle lost an away game at Heracles in the previous round. The entire match was an uphill battle for them, and top online bookmakers priced an away win at odds of 3.43. As such, the 4:2 was somewhat predictable, even though PEC Zwolle managed to maintain a stalemate in the first half.

Ajax were on an away match at Almere City last round and brought home three points after some solid overall gameplay throughout the match. It may have been close at 0:1, but an away win is always welcome.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

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.

Ajax already won a match against PEC Zwolle this season while playing a home game. Even though they won’t have home-field advantage this time, they’re still considered favourites. After all, their previous victory was quite decisive and ended with a considerable lead.

Both rosters have been impacted by an unfortunate string of injuries, leaving them with limited options. The favoured visitors will be short Josip Šutalo, A. Van Axel Dongen, Owen Wijndal, while Samir Lagsir, Tristan Gooijer, Younes Namli will not play for the home team.

If you want to get some value out of this match, you’ll need to be willing to take a risk. The best betting offers are found in the HT/FT market, specifically for a Draw/Away bet.
