It will be interesting to see how Jong Ajax respond on Monday night

Jong Ajax suffered a 7-2 defeat away at Jong Utrecht last time out while Breda defied the odds in midweek by knocking Eredivisie outfit AZ out of the KNVB Beker Quarter-Finals courtesy of a 3-1 final scoreline in Alkmaar. 10pts separate these two clubs in the Eerste Divisie table, with Jong Ajax sitting in 2nd place and Breda occupying 6th position, but both head into Monday’s clash with three wins, two draws, and one defeat from their last six matches.

Of the five previous meetings between these two clubs, four have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals, while four of Jong Ajax’s and three of Breda’s last six matches have also seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals, so you can see why we have predicted goals in this game for both sides.

Jong Ajax have been strong at home this season but have dropped points in three of their thirteen matches in front of their own crowd, while Breda have picked up four wins and four draws on their travels. Breda have drawn 33% of their away games in the Eerste Divisie and are bound to be buoyed by their shock midweek victory over AZ Alkmaar in the KNVB Beker.

Breda look full of confidence following a shock win in the KNVB Beker Quarter-Finals

The hosts’ home matches produce an average of 3.92 total goals with 58% of those matches producing over 2.5 goals and 50% seeing both teams score, while both teams have found the back of the net in 58% of Breda’s away games and 50% have produced over 2.5 goals. Jong Ajax have scored 36-goals at home this season and 58% have produced over 3.5 goals, adding further weight to our prediction for a 2-2 draw on Monday night.

Jong Ajax haven’t failed to score at home this season and Breda have only failed to score in 25% of their away games, with 4-goals being scored in 17% of the hosts’ home games and 25% of the visitors’ trips on the road. Breda have only lost 17% of their away games to-nil and we fully expect the visitors to get on the scoreboard during their trip to Amsterdam.

We’re confident that both teams will score and over 2.5 goals will be produced in Monday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2. Both teams are in good form but that heavy defeat for Jong Ajax could leave them vulnerable against a Breda side brimming with confidence after they knocked AZ out of the KNVB Beker Quarter-Finals, which is why we have backed the pair to play out a 2-2 draw.
