Ajax vs Heerenveen Predictions

• Heerenveen have lost every meeting with the top seven, conceding 19 times
• Ajax returned to form with a 2-0 win over Volendam in midweek
• The visitors have lost six of their last eight games

Ajax on the up

After a terrible run, Ajax fell into the drop zone in the Eredivisie. They did claim a 2-0 win over Volendam in midweek under new boss John van’t Schip, who has stepped in as interim boss for the rest of the season.

Ajax were always too good to be down at the bottom for long, so expect them to quicky stabilise their form. They meet a Heerenveen side who have lost six of their last eight games, which has included 3-0 defeats to both AZ and Excelsior, a 3-1 home loss to Sparta Rotterdam and a 6-1 humbling at Feyenoord.

Ajax have won by two goals or more in their two victories this season and home advantage should help them see off a Heerenveen side who have lost all of their clashes with the top seven this term, conceding 19 goals and scoring only four in return.

Ajax are comfortably among the top sides in the league despite a rough start, so back them to cover a -1 handicap this weekend.
