Ajax vs Vitesse Predictions

• Both teams have scored in six of the last eight meetings between these two
• Vitesse have lost eight of their 12 Eredivisie matches this term
• Three of Ajax’s five home league games this season have finished with over 3.5 goals

Ajax still on the comeback trail

Ajax had a nightmare start to the season and sat in the relegation zone of the Dutch top flight at one point so their tally of two wins from their last three league games is a decent return given their struggles.

They remain a long way away from where the Dutch giants should be and they are looking to continue their upturn in form as they host Vitesse.

The visitors sit bottom of the Eredivisie after losing eight of their 12 league games and look unlikely to get much from this game, they have not won any of the last 12 meetings between these two sides.

Go for goals

Ajax have turned around their season somewhat and the extra time for their new manager John van’t Schip to get his ideas across to his team over the international break will have been appreciated.

The Dutch giants should be able to get the better of this struggling Ajax side and they are fancied to win a game in which both teams find the net, something that has landed in six of the last eight meetings between these two teams.

Three of the hosts’ five league games this season have gone over 3.5 goals so expect a high-scoring clash, with a 3-1 Ajax win the recommendation for correct score backers.
