Ajax vs Twente Predictions

• Five of Ajax’s last six games have contained three or more goals
• There have also been 3+ strikes in three of Twente’s last four outings on the road
• Ajax’s league fixtures this season average exactly four goals per match

Can Ajax respond after Feyenoord humiliation?

He may have only taken charge mid-way through the season, but the pressure could barely be higher on Ajax boss John van ‘t Schip, after his side were on the wrong end of a 6-0 battering to Feyenoord last time out.

That was the fourth time in six fixtures that ‘de Godenzonen’ have conceded two or more goals, while five of those matches contained 3+ strikes over the course of the 90 minutes.

Indeed, Ajax have shipped a staggering 55 goals in the Eredivisie this season, and having netted 61 at the other end, that means their 29 league games average exactly four strikes per match.

Twente looking to pile on the misery

Goals galore are often in store when Twente are in town too, as they have scored 55 times themselves in the league this campaign.

That has helped them up into third place in the table ahead of this round, but there is a slight concern over form on the road, where they recently drew 3-3 with Heerenveen.

That result followed hot on the heals of a 2-1 defeat to PSV, meaning three successive away games have contained three or more goals, as have six of their last ten Eredivisie outings at all venues.

I predict there will be three or more goals in this game, with a 2-2 draw my correct score prediction.
