Ajax vs Waalwijk Prediction & Betting Tips - Eredivisie

Prediction published on 10/02/2023, 12:14  by Sridhar in Eredivisie Predictions

Ajax Amsterdam will look to continue their recent-found form and stay in the Eredivisie title hunt as they welcome mid-table side Wallwijk to the imperious Amsterdam Arena. Ajax are 3rd in the standings ahead of this round with 40 points from 20 matches and only three behind league leaders Feyenoord. The appointment of John Heitinga has seen Ajax becoming resurgent with three wins in a row in all competitions, including a 1-0 win over Twente in the KNVB Cup competition. Despite their struggles under previous coach to close out matches, the hosts are the top-scoring team in the league with 56 goals. That doesn’t guarantee immediate success here as Ajax have failed to win their last four home matches in the league. That included three successive draws, but this team is completely different and is looking to reclaim lost ground. Facing Wallwijk could work to their advantage as Ajax have won their last eight league matches against them.

Wallwijk also have the baggage of history weighing them down, as the visitors have only ever won once in 26 league visits to Ajax. The visitors are 9th in the league standings with 26 points from 20 matches ahead of this round but are well behind the top-two or even the challenging clubs. They have stitched together an unbeaten four game run in the league winning and drawing two each, but will have to do better to pick up anything from this trip. Wallwijk have been one of the poor travellers in the league with no wins from their last six away Eredivisie matches with three draws and losses each.
