Ajax vs Vitesse Predictions

• Ajax haven’t kept a clean sheet across their last 11 competitive matches.
• Four of the last six H2H encounters held in Amsterdam saw both teams score.
• Two of Vitesse’s only three league wins this season came in the last three rounds.

Wobbling Ajax need to bounce back

A bruising 2-1 loss in the De Topper clash with PSV last time out saw Ajax surrender their spot at the top of the Eredivisie and now they must face a resurgent Vitesse side in hopes of getting back on track in their pursuit of a 37th Dutch championship.

One key area for improvement for Ajax is their porous defence, they are currently enduring a run of 11 straight competitive games without keeping a clean sheet but their typically prolific frontline has ensured that BTTS landed in ten of those clashes.

Perennial European hopefuls Vitesse are having a torrid campaign by their own high standards, which is evidenced by their worse points return than at this stage of every campaign since 2010/11. However, two of their three league wins came in the last few rounds and they can trouble this leaky Ajax side.

Go for goals

Although Ajax are certainly justified favourites, the value simply isn’t there to back them in the straight win market. As such, we’re going for a BTTS pick in this encounter at a much more palatable price.

As for the correct score, we’re going for a small stakes play on a exciting 4-2 Ajax win. The hosts have scored ten goals across the last two home H2Hs whilst each of the last four meetings at any venue produced over 3.5 goals, so another exciting affair could be on the cards.
