Ajax vs Heerenveen Prediction & Betting Tips - Eredivisie

Prediction published on 09/05/2022, 11:51  by Daniel Ngulu in Eredivisie Predictions

Ajax are a win away from another Eredivisie title and will be hoping to bag it in their penultimate game, when they host Heerenveen. The Dutch giants go into this game top of the standings with 79 points while eighth placed Heerenveen have 38 points. Ajax missed a good chance to wrap up the race in their last game after playing to a 2-2 draw with AZ. In fact, Ajax needed a late goal to earn the draw, and after managing just two clean sheets in the last five matches, they will be seeking an improved performance in defence. Twice in the last five matches they’ve conceded two goals and in that run their only defeat was at the hands of PSV in the Dutch Cup final. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in three. In the league they are unbeaten in the last eight matches, winning seven. At home in the league, Ajax have seven straight wins, and they have led at half time in five of those matches. This is their final home math and Ajax will be out to finish in style.

Heerenveen registered their first win in three matches ahead of this game, beating Vitesse 2-1 and as they go into a second straight away game they will be targeting three points. They can’t rise higher than eighth place but a win will go a long way in ensuring they don’t droop lower. Heerenveen have two wins in the last five and they have scored in each of these five games though none has returned a clean sheet. Each of Heerenveen’s last four matches have produced over 2.5 goals; they’ve scored two or more in three of five games, but they’ve conceded two or more in two of them. In their last five matches, Heerenveen have led at half time in only one. The win over Vitesse was their first away from home in the last eight; they’ve lost four of those eight.
