Heracles vs Ajax Predictions

• Ajax have won eight of their last ten games
• Heracles have the second-worst defensive record in the division, conceding 41 in 18 games
• Both teams have scored in 12 of Ajax’s last 15 Eredivisie away games

Ajax’s strong form set to continue

Ajax had a nightmare start to the season and were in the relegation zone for much of the beginning of their campaign. However eight wins from their last ten league games has seen them rise up the Eredivise table and they sit a respectable fifth at the time of writing.

Any title ambitions are long gone but the team will be hoping to push their rivals for the European spots, they currently sit three points behind AZ Alkmaar in fourth.

Despite their recent success, Ajax have still been vulnerable at the back and could be so again in this clash. Both teams have found the net in 12 of their last 15 away games in the league and Heracles are the top scorers in the bottom eight teams, back both teams to find the net in an Ajax win.

Heracles’ defensive woes may trouble them again

Heracles are five points clear of the relegation zone but can take nothing for granted in the Dutch top flight, especially considering their defensive record.

The hosts have conceded 41 times in 18 games, one of the worst records in the division, and they look vulnerable against an Ajax attack that is finally hitting top gear.

No Eredivisie team has played more games with four or more goals this season than Ajax have and they are fancied for another, take the visitors to win 3-1.
