Ajax vs NAC Breda Predictions

Ajax recovered from their 6-2 mauling at Feyenoord by hammering VVV 6-0 the game after, but last weekend they suffered a shock defeat away at Heracles and need to produce another response on Sunday against Breda. The visitors arrive in poor form and bottom of the Eredivisie table, their record against Ajax is poor and they have failed to score in their last three away games, which doesn’t make for good reading ahead of a trip to the Johan Cruijff Arena.

Ajax suffered a 2-1 home defeat in the 1st leg of their tricky Champions League tie against Real Madrid, despite heading in at the break goalless. A Ziyech goal was sandwiched between Benzema and Asensio efforts for the visitors and its Real who head into the 2nd leg with the advantage. Breda last match wasn’t as glamorous as their host’s, but is was equally disappointing as AZ put three passed them without reply. Til scored twice at the Rat Verlegh Stadion in Breda as AZ Alkmaar continued their fine start to the new year, leaving Breda two points adrift at the foot of the table.

Despite Ajax losing three of their last four in all competitions, we’re expecting a big win from the hosts as they need to respond following last weekends defeat in the Eredivisie and after PSV moved six points clear at the top of the table. The history between the two clubs, their recent meetings, and both sides results heading into Sunday’s game all point towards a big win for Ajax. The hosts have won five of their last seven games against Breda, four of which have have produced over 3.5 goals. Over 3.5 goals also have been scored in four of Ajax’s last six matches in all competitions, while Breda have failed to score in three of their last four matches.

Tadić top scores in the league for the hosts with thirteen goals, but teammate Ziyech is just one behind on twelve, and Huntelaar has chipped in with ten. Breda’s top score te Vrede is sidelined with an injury and they have missed their nine goal strike a lot over the last few weeks. We’re confident that Ajax will win and that over 3.5 goals will be scored in the process, with the final scoreline to read 5-0 to the Dutch giants. Along with the home advantage, Ajax have a great record against Breda overall and in recent seasons, and the visitors head into the game having failed to score in each of their last three away games.
