Ajax vs Vitesse Betting Tips

Ajax are currently top of the Dutch Eredivisie table as they look to regain the Dutch title. They hold only a three-point advantage over the current defending champions, PSV Eindhoven, and they face a critical test on Saturday afternoon when they play host to fourth place Vitesse.

Things haven’t been quite as smooth for Ajax over the last three games. They suffered only their second defeat of the season in mid-December when they suffered a 1-0 loss to FC Utrecht. That was followed up by a less than secure 2-1 win over De Graafschap, who are dead last in the Dutch Eredivisie table. Their first game in 2016 was another slightly edgy victory against Den Haag.

Vitesse are looking for a third straight win after beating Cambuur 2-0 away from home and thrashing Twente 5-1 before the Christmas break. They’re an explosive football team with 37 goals in just 18 league games this season and they’re definitely good enough to play spoiler for the big three in their race.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Vitesse are dangerous

They’re playing good football, they score a lot of goals and they’ll ask a lot of questions of Ajax.

2. Ajax slightly shaky

There are just signs of Ajax not playing their best football and they might just be susceptible to conceding a goal or two.

3. Still back the leaders to break out

After a tough run, we’ll still back Ajax to break out of their current run and pick up a big win.
