De Graafschap vs Ajax Predictions

• Seven of Ajax’s last nine KNVB Beker games saw them win without reply.
• De Graafschap lost to nil in the only ever KNVB Beker H2H encounter.
• Both teams have scored in none of Graafschap’s last five home games.

Doetinchem domination for Ajax

Although Graafschap enter this clash on the back of consecutive Eerste Divisie victories, they remain well off the pace for the play-offs and are undeniably right up against it here as they welcome 20-time Dutch Cup winners, Ajax.

The road to the quarter finals has been a bit of a breeze for the hosts, they’ve scored three goals in all three games so far but they were against the likes of Rijnsburgse, Quick DH and De Treffers, none of which can hold a candle to the level of opposition they’ll face here.

The visitors come into this full of anguish after being eliminated from the Europa League at the hands of German title chasers Union Berlin, though Johnny Heitinga’s men should be full of confidence here after winning seven of their last nine Dutch Cup games to nil.

A workmanlike victory for Ajax

Ajax were made to work for a 2-1 victory over Vitesse in their last league game, but having scored 15 goals across the last four H2H encounters with Graafschap, they are within their rights to expect a much stronger showing in this cup clash.

There’s simply no value in backing Ajax in the straight win market, so we’re squeezing a little more value from the selection by taking Ajax in the ‘win to nil’ market. For smaller stakes, we’re completing our selections with a 3-0 away win in the correct score market.
