Ajax Reserves vs Go Ahead Eagles Predictions

• Go Ahead Eagles have only lost 1 of their 7 matches against Jong Ajax.
• The hosts are unbeaten in their last 10 matches.
• The visitors haven’t lost since August.
• Both teams have scored in 5 of the last 6 meetings between these two clubs.

The hosts have only lost once at home

Jong Ajax played out a 3-3 draw away at NEC last weekend while Go Ahead Eagles won 1-0 at home to Breda, which means the gap between the two clubs was reduced to 6pts. Both teams head into Monday’s match in the midst of unbeaten streaks and are bound to be full of confidence, which should make for an entertaining ninety minutes in Amsterdam.

Go Ahead Eagles have only lost one of their seven previous meetings with Jong Ajax and both teams have scored in five of those encounters, so you can start to see why we have backed a final scoreline of 1-1. The hosts have only failed to score in one of their last six matches and Go Ahead Eagles have scored in each of their last six outings, which is why we have backed both sides to score in Monday’s clash.

Jong Ajax have only lost once at home in the Eerste Divisie this season and their guests have only lost two of their eleven away games, with the home sides averaging 2.36 points in their own backyard and the visitors averaging 1.73 points on the road. The hosts have only lost 9% of their home matches and Go Ahead Eagles have only lost 18% of their away games, with both teams scoring in 73% of the visitors’ trips on the road.

Go Ahead Eagles are unbeaten in league and cup since late August

Go Ahead Eagles score an average of 1.73 goals per away game and concede an average of 1.55 goals, and we have backed the pair to play out a 1-1 draw on Monday night as Jong Ajax only concede an average of 0.91 goals per home game. Jong Ajax have kept clean sheets in 55% of their home games so should prove a tough nut to crack for the visitors, but Go Ahead Eagles have only failed to score in 9% of their away games and haven’t failed to score in a competitive match since the goalless draw with Den Bosch in October.

Exactly 2-goals have been scored in 45% of Jong Ajax’s home games as well as 36% of Go Ahead Eagles’ away games, which bodes well for our prediction of a 1-1 draw this Monday. The hosts have scored in all of their home games this season and are enjoying a good run of form, but the visitors are also looking clinical in front of goal and haven’t lost a match since way back in August, so a draw looks like the most likely result.

We’re confident that both teams will score4 in Monday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair. Jong Ajax are strong at home but their guests are enjoying a phenomenal unbeaten run in all competitions and we believe the pair will cancel each other out on Monday night.
