Ajax vs Fortuna Sittard Predictions

• Fortuna Sittard have managed to at least score a goal in each of their last 12 away games.
• Over 3.5 goals has been a winning bet in 15 of Ajax’s 27 Eredivisie games this season.
• 13 of Fortuna Sittard’s last 16 Eredivisie away games have seen both teams score.

Ajax’s fading title dream isn’t the end

Whilst Ajax have fallen eight points adrift of league leaders Feyenoord at the conclusion of the last round, they earned their revenge in a fiery De Klassieker victory over their bitter rivals in a midweek KNVB Beker encounter.

That game was stopped twice due to drama with the fans and an attack on Davy Klaasen, events which may well light a fire in their bellies in an attempt to close the gap. The Amsterdam outfit have scored ten goals across their last four home games and they should have enough firepower to put another opponent to the sword here.

Fortuna Sittard look set for another season of mid-table obscurity in the Eredivisie, although they have often held their own on the road. In fact, no host side has stopped Sittard from scoring since last August yet 13 of their last 16 Eredivisie road trips have seen goals at both ends, an encouraging statistic for the travelling underdogs.

Fortuna can at least leave a mark

We’re backing Ajax to win this game but with no price worth backing about them in the win-draw-win markets, we’re taking them to win with both teams scoring. For smaller stakes, we’re going for a convincing, yet entertaining 3-1 pick in the correct score market to complete our selections for this encounter.
