Ajax - SC Heerenveen predictions

It’s quite easy to predict that Ajax will take the 3 points here. Though a different result is not entirely impossible, it would still be quite a notable upset.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - SC Heerenveen will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

The odds seemed to be stacked against Ajax in the previous round at FC Twente , but they managed to pull a surprise in a big way. They were losing at half-time against a much stronger opposition, but an excellent performance in the second half netted them 3 points and a stunning 2:3 victory.

SC Heerenveen can’t be too happy with their latest Eredivisie result. They were the slightly stronger team in that matchup against NAC Breda and took the lead as expected. Unfortunately, the lead crumbled away in the second half, resulting in a 3:3 draw.

With 7 concessions over the last 3 matches, Ajax will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

Ajax are in the upper half of the table, but they could still do better. They’re just 2 points behind the best-placed teams, and this match is a great chance to close the gap.

Looking back at the recent history of clashes between these two teams, the most notable example is a sound defeat SC Heerenveen suffered last season. Partly thanks to the considerable goal difference Ajax secured in that match, they’re considered favourites to win the match on Saturday.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet has strong chances of success here, so we can safely recommend it. With the teams’ records for scoring and conceding in mind, the 1 odds offered at 1xbet are more than fair in terms of value.
