Ajax vs Feyenoord Predictions

Hosts to struggle again

Feyenoord are two places above Ajax in the table, with eight points separating the teams. Both have won more games than they’ve lost this season, but Feyenoord, in second place, have won 11 of their 15 matches, while Ajax have seven wins.

Feyenoord maintained their winning habit last weekend with a 6-1 victory over PEC Zwolle, who did all their scoring after the break – 72% of Feyenoord’s goals against have come in the second half of their games this season.

The home team have looked vulnerable at the back. Ajax have failed to keep a clean sheet in 12 of their last 14 Eredivisie games, including five of their last six at home.

Feyenoord are in prolific form going forward, having scored in 24 of their last 25 league games. They have been particularly ruthless at times this season, scoring three goals or more in six of their 15 Eredivisie matches.

Feyenoord are in good form, having won their last two Eredivisie matches. They have been successful on five of their last seven away days in the league.

A 2-0 away win for Feyenoord looks a decent correct-score option. At least one of the teams did not score in three of the last four Eredivisie meetings between these sides, and two of their 11 league victories this term have been by a 2-0 scoreline.
