Volendam vs Ajax Prediction & Betting Tips - Eredivisie

Prediction published on 08/10/2022, 01:24  by Daniel Ngulu in Eredivisie Predictions

Two winless outings in the Eredivisie have seen Ajax deposed at the league summit but they will be looking to get back on top when they travel to the Kras Stadion to take on Volendam. Hosts Volendam are stuck at the bottom of the league standings, with just five points from their opening eight games. Meanwhile, Ajax are second with 19 points. This will be a tough one for Volendam, who have managed just one win in their eight games, and have conceded the most goals in the league at this stage. They will be aware that a win in this fixture could get them off the relegation zone and they want to take advantage of Ajax’s poor run in recent matches. However, their own run points to a potential heavy defeat at the hands of Ajax; they’ve suffered four defeats in the last five matches. In their last five matches they’ve conceded two or more goals in four. Volendam have scored four times in five matches but have conceded 17 goals in the process.

Ajax are going through their roughest patch in recent seasons; they come into this game winless in their last four matches across all competitions. It was worse in their last outing as they suffered a 6-1 defeat at home to Napoli in the Champions League. Their confidence is definitely battered going into this game but facing a newly promoted side, which is also struggling, could be the perfect chance to bounce back. Even in defeat, Ajax have been able to score. They’ve played 12 games this season and scored in each one of them. In four of their last five matches, they scored first, but in three of the four, they dropped points. Mohamed Kudus has been their star player with four goals in the last five matches and he will be a constant threat to the home team here.
