PEC Zwolle vs Ajax Predictions

Zwolle lost 4-0 away at Heracles as their poor start to the new season continued at the weekend, while Ajax thrashed Feyenoord 4-0 and sit six-points clear of AZ, PSV, and Vitesse at the top of the Eredivisie table.

All of the stats suggest that Ajax will win on Friday and that the game is likely to produced over 2.5 goals and we’ve backed a final scoreline of 3-1.

Ajax have won their last six matches against Zwolle and haven’t lost against their hosts since the 2014 Super Cup Final. Over 2.5 goals were produced in five of the pairs’ last six meetings and four of the duos’ last six encounters have seen both teams score, so you can start to see why we’re backing a 3-1 win for Ajax on Friday night.

The form of both clubs heading into their latest Eredivisie encounter only adds weight to our prediction of an away win, as Zwolle have lost four of their last six matches and Ajax have won five of theirs. The visitor only defeat in their last six matches arrived in the Champions League against Premier League side Chelsea, where the match finished a respectable 1-0.

The performances of both teams during the last month or so provides plenty of reasons to expect at least three goals to be scored and for Ajax to win the game. Over 2.5 goals were produced in four of Zwolle’s last six and three of Ajax’s last five matches and the visitors have won their last three away games against RKC, Den Haag, and Valencia.

We’re confident that Ajax will win and over 2.5 goals will be produced this Friday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1. Ajax head into the game as the clear form favourites with five wins from their last six matches and Zwolle are expected to struggle against the league leaders having lost four of their last five in the Eredivisie. History suggests that there is a great chance that we will see both teams score and over 2.5 goals on Friday, but Zwolle haven’t managed to take as little as a point off Ajax since 2015.
