Sparta Rotterdam vs Ajax Predictions

• Ajax won 17 of their last 20 Eredivisie games, including both this season.
• Ajax were leading at both HT/FT in 23 of their last 28 league victories (82%).
• Nine of Sparta’s last 16 Eredivisie defeats came at both HT/FT (56%).

Another typically tough season for Sparta

After opening their league campaign with two winless games (D1, L1) the next opponents being reigning champions Ajax is hardly the ideal situation that Sparta Rotterdam want to find themselves in.

The Rotterdam outfit lost each of the last 11 H2H encounters since last taking a point from Ajax back in 2009, yet even then they couldn’t get on the scoresheet. With a long survival battle ahead, we predict that the Spartan resurgence will have to wait for another day.

As usual, Ajax can dominate

With nine goals scored after just two Eredivisie rounds, Ajax have made their intentions clear with PSV also helping to set the pace. This season is set to be a classic tussle between the two Dutch powerhouses, so Ajax need to rack up the goals in order to stay at the top by virtue of goal difference.

Ajax scored at least twice in each of their last six league outings and we expect no different this time around either. Ajax scored before the interval in each of their last five visits to Het Kasteel and led at both HT/FT in each of the last three.

As such, that is the route we’re going to take when adding value to the win selection, by backing a HT/FT Ajax victory at a shade of odds-on. As for the correct score, a convincing 3-0 victory seems like a strong pick.
