Willem II vs Ajax Prediction & Betting Tips - Eredivisie
by Daniel Ngulu | in Eredivisie Predictions
The Dutch Eredivisie enters Round 14 in midweek, and among the teams set to face off, Willem II will be hosting Ajax. The hosts have had a torrid campaign so far, and are placed 16th with eight points while Ajax are still top of the pile with 33 points. Willem II took a 2-0 lead against AZ in their most recent game, on Sunday, and were cruising by the 36th minute but things changed so fast, they went to the break tied at 2-2. In the end, they lost the game 5-3, stretching their losing run to five straight matches. In the 13 league matches so far played, Willem II have two wins and only two clean sheets. Lately they have improved in attack, scoring in four of the last five league matches but they have been poor in defence and in the last 13 matches, they have conceded two or more goals in nine. Willem II have one win and 10 losses in the last 13 matches. It hasn’t even been easier at home; they have four losses and a win in their last five league matches at home. They have conceded three goals or more in four of their last five home league matches but have scored in five of the last six league matches at home.
Ajax, on the other hand, have enjoyed a large part of the campaign, as far as domestic action is involved. They head to this game straight after a 4-2 away win against ADO den Haag. The key issue they need to deal with after that game, and which has been witnesses in the recent matches, is their defence. Ajax have managed just one clean sheet in their last six matches and conceded two goals or more in three of their last five games. In the last three matches alone, they have conceded six goals, though they have managed to score 13. In the 13 league matches played so far, Ajax have 11 wins and seven clean sheets. They have the best attack and defence in the league, having scored 51 goals in the 13 matches played and conceded just nine. Heading to Willem II, the champions have four straight away wins in the league and have scored 25 goals in the four away matches, while conceding just two. In the last meeting with Willem II, Ajax lost 2-0, but they had won each of the seven matches before that.

Our Willem II vs Ajax Prediction
Willem II have not been doing well recently, and for the better part of the season as well. They have been conceding a lot and dropping points, but one thing they carry to this game is their ability to steal in with a goal, even when overpowered. The hosts have conceded three or more goals in four of their last five league games at home, but they have scored in five of six. They meet an Ajax side struggling to keep clean sheets in their recent matches and Willem II will be looking at this as a good chance to shock the league leaders. We expect the hosts to score, but not to win, looking at the two sides’ recent forms. Ajax leading in both halves looks like a good pick here.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
