Ajax - PEC Zwolle predictions

Ajax are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.25, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

With a price of 11.00 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear PEC Zwolle will likely not fare well against Ajax. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

Ajax are coming on the back of an inconclusive match at FC Volendam, which was a major disappointment for their fans back in Sportpark De Wachtelenberg. They were expected to win easily despite the home-field disadvantage but never managed to convincingly pull ahead of the opposition.

PEC Zwolle’s defeat in their previous home game was painful due to the crushing 0:2 final score, but it doesn’t mean they won’t perform better in round 5. They were up against FC Utrecht, who were considered hard favourites and took the lead early.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

Ajax fans are hoping that this match will allow them to move up closer to European places. The season is still in its early stages, so there’s a lot of room for optimism. A win against PEC Zwolle would certainly be a step in the right direction.

PEC Zwolle ended up at number 7th on the Eredivisie table after the first 5 rounds of the season. They’ll need at another 3 points to catch up to a Europa League qualifying spot. There’s plenty of time left to do so, but this match represents a major obstacle.

The latest example of a clash between these two sides we have is from last season when Ajax managed to walk away with a solid victory and a 2+ goal difference. If the 1.25 betting odds for a home win are to be believed, most bookies are expecting them to repeat that success.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Saturday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

And Under 2.5 Goals bet may not be the obvious choice, but that may be exactly what makes it good. The 1xbet sportsbook is pricing this fixture at 1, which offers substantial betting value. It’s not without risks, of course, but it’s statistically an excellent choice.
