The leader of Eredivisie, Ajax Amsterdam, receives on Thursday evening, from 22:00, the visit of the penultimate ranked, Willem II.
The match should be an easy one for Ajax, which is looking to consolidate its leading position, PSV blowing in the back of its head, but Willem II also has a strong motivation, being only 4 points away from relegation.
The results of the last matches, as well as the position in the standings, should be a guarantee for a sure victory of the hosts.
Our mission is to find the best betting tips, so I invite you to look at the details of the meeting to look for ideas with the best chance of success.
Ajax Amsterdam: Team form, news and statistics
Ajax have scored in every home game this season, as well as in 17 of the 18 stages so far in the Eredivisie.
The “Lancers” have the best attack of the championship, scoring 60 times, with an average of over 3 goals per game, and have the second best defense, with only 14 goals conceded, ie an average of less than 1 goal per match.
Although a victory for the hosts is the logical outcome here, at the same time it is possible that Erik ten Hag will save some of his starters, because this weekend Ajax plays away at AZ Alkmaar, the fourth place.
Even if he makes some rotations in the first 11 of the “spearmen”, this may not be at all ominous because it is possible that important names such as Lisandro Martinez, Edson Alvarez, Quincy Promes and David Neres will return.
Statistics show us that Ajax is a team that masters the first half very well.
In 14 of the 18 matches of the season he scored before the break and took the lead in the booths.
Willem II: Team form, news and statistics
Willem definitely starts this match with a second chance.
In 18 stages he has won only twice, and in the last 9 games he has not managed any victory.
The strikers, often criticized lately, perform poorly, and the “dowry” of the team is only 21 goals, ranking 4th in the top of the weakest scorers in the Eredivisie.
The defense did not have more successes, scoring goals in 8 of the last 9 matches.
Moreover, the last match in which Willem managed to escape with the goal intact took place on October 24, last year.
Ghanaian striker Kwasi Wriedt, Willem’s best striker, is still suspended, so Adrie Koster doesn’t have too many offensive solutions for this match.
And the guests’ concerns do not stop there because both goalkeeper Robbin Ruiter and left defender Miquel Nelom will be missing.
🎾Statistics of direct matches Ajax Amsterdam vs Willem II
Based on statistics, we can expect not only a victory for Ajax, but also a match with many goals, possibly even on both sides.
But the victory of the “spearmen” will not come by itself, and the last two “live” between the two bands, from which the Amsterdam band took a single point, should be a warning to Erik Ten Hag’s students.
In the history of the meetings between the two teams (54), Ajax leads detached (44), while Willem II obtained only 7 victories.
Over time, they scored, on average, over 3 goals per game.
