Vitesse vs Ajax Predictions

• There has been over 2.5 goals in six of Ajax’s last eight away league games.
• Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in 14 of Vitesse’s 22 Eredivisie games this season.
• Eight of the last nine Eredivisie clashes between this pair have had four goals or more.

Vitesse aren’t out of the woods yet

Although Vitesse hold a six-point cushion to the drop zone ahead of this round, they’re not quite safe yet following a demoralising defeat to Volendam in the last round. As such, they’ll hope to take advantage of a possibly tired Ajax side here in Arnhem.

Ajax were eliminated from the Europa League in some style by Bundesliga title hopefuls, Union Berlin (3-1) and could show signs of that midweek trip to Germany in their play.

The kind of performance we’ll see from the Amsterdam outfit here will certainly be interesting as that was their very first defeat under the leadership of Johnny Heitinga. However, he’ll hope for an immediate resurgence as they continue to hunt down bitter rivals Feyenoord at the top of the table.

Go for goals

The safest bet here looks to be over 2.5 goals. There has been at least three goals scored in 15 of Ajax’s 22 league games this season whilst league games involving Vitesse have averaged three goals per-match.

For smaller stakes, we’re going for a 3-1 away win in the correct score market. Even with their hampered preparations, Ajax should have enough quality to win this game handily.
