AZ Alkmaar vs Ajax Predictions

• Ajax have scored 2.21 goals per game in the Eredivisie this season
• The visitors have scored at least twice in nine of their last 10 league starts
• AZ have lost all of their clashes with the top four so far, conceding at least twice in each

AZ to be outclassed

Ajax face a key test of their title credentials in Sunday’s visit to Alkmaar, but the hosts haven’t impressed against top sides so far this season. AZ have lost each of their encounters with the top four to date, falling 3-2 at Feyenoord and losing 2-1 at home to both PSV and Utrecht.

Ajax head into Sunday’s game in fine form, having won 10 of their 14 Eredivisie games this season. After a rocky start they’ve put together a strong run, which included a 3-2 victory over PSV. The Amsterdam side have scored twice in nine of their last 10 league games, while they’re averaging 2.21 per outing.

AZ head into this clash having beaten Heracles and Sparta Rotterdam, but before that, they had suffered five defeats in six. This Ajax side should follow the rest of the Eredivisie’s heavyweights and put a couple of goals past the hosts, while another 2-1 away win at this ground is my correct score prediction.
