Ajax vs Heerenveen Predictions

• Ajax have won all three of their European qualifiers this summer
• Heerenveen lost eight of their nine trips to top half teams last season
• The visitors trailed at half-time on 12 occasions last term

Ajax to start strong

After last season’s dreadful start to the campaign, Ajax can start on a much stronger note this time around. They’ve already picked up three wins so far this term, with Francesco Farioli’s reign beginning with a perfect start to Europa League qualifying.

Ajax were able to steady the ship from November, posting the third-best record in the league from that point on. They’ll be hoping for another step forward this season and a home clash against a Heerenveen side that didn’t travel well should be a boost.

The visitors lost eight of their nine visits to sides in the top half last season, including a 4-1 loss at Ajax in November. The visitors found themselves behind at the break on 12 occasions last term and with Ajax getting plenty of football under their belt they should be capable of making an impact early on.

Ajax look good for the victory, so back them to be leading at the end of each half.
