Cambuur vs Ajax Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

A run of four defeats across the last five Eredivisie rounds has left Cambuur essentially cut adrift from the race for Europe, albeit sitting just one place outside of the play-off positions.

They know that only victory will keep those dreams alive, as the current seven-point gap will likely increase if they fail to do so. That outcome is highly likely, given that Cambuur have won just one of the 15 prior top-flight H2H meetings, a 4-1 success back in 1999!

One thing Cambuur do have going for them is their scoring ability, no visiting side has kept them from scoring this term and that includes two goals against ‘Big Three’ opposition, Feyenoord (3-2 L), suggesting that they could get in behind the Ajax backline.

A must-win encounter for Ajax

With the gap at the top cut to just two points, Ajax know that if they want to maintain their lead by the end of this round, victory is a must. The Amsterdam outfit have scored 2.96 goals per-match on average though, so a continuation of that should see them there or thereabouts.

While Ajax boast the league’s best defensive record with just nine conceded, they have allowed six goals across their last four competitive games. That number is more than they conceded across their 14 games prior, indicating a decline of sorts in their defensive solidity.

There is simply no value in backing Ajax in the straight win market, so I predict that they will win this game with both teams to score. Cambuur may put up a respectable resistance, but I can see this one finishing with a narrow, yet entertaining 2-1 success for the visitors.
