Ajax vs PEC Zwolle Betting Tips and Predictions

League leaders Ajax are in control of the Eredivisie title race after taking 19 points of the last 21 available, while their unbeaten run now stretches to 12 league games. The visit of PEC Zwolle should not cause too many problems for the Amsterdam club, especially as they have beaten Sunday’s visitors on four of their last visits.

However, this game could well be overshadowed by the fact it will be Ajax’s first home fixture since the sad passing of Netherlands football legend Johan Cruyff, who passed away after a battle with cancer recently. Cruyff was hugely successful as both a player and a manager at Ajax and it is likely to be an emotional occasion at the Amsterdam ArenA on Sunday, with Ajax’s players out to commemorate Cruyff in the best possible way.

PEC Zwolle have been maddeningly inconsistent this season, winning four of their last six matches but falling to lame defeats at Cambuur and Twente, two clubs below them in the league table.

Although the last four meetings between the sides have seen under 2.5 goals, there should be a lot of action in this game. Ajax are almost certain to come out on top, which is reflected in their short odds, but we can find some extra value by adding in over 2.5 goals to the bet. Ajax to win with over 2.5 goals at 8/11 with bet365 looks a solid selection for this Eredivisie clash, while Ajax to win 3-1 at 10/1 with bet365 appeals on the correct score market.
