Prediction on Ajax vs NEC
Ajax currently hold a one-point disadvantage over AZ Alkmaar, and a win here could steer them to the top 4 (if AZ draw or lose).
They started the year with three victories but have failed to win any of the following three games in all competitions.
The hosts were the better side against NEC Nijmegen in the last nine league games, securing 7 victories and 2 draws.
Nijmegen will be looking for their first win over Ajax since August 2015.
Both teams had a great run of results recently, but considering the home advantage for Ajax and the better record in this fixture, we back them to eke out a tough victory.
Prediction: Ajax 2:1 NEC
80% of Ajax’s home games this season have seen over 2.5 goals, while 75% of NEC Nijmegen’s away matches saw over 2.5 goals.
Everything indicated that we would see a high-scoring clash.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5
Match Preview: Ajax vs NEC
Ajax will face NEC Nijmegen this Sunday at Johan Cruyff Arena.
The hosts are heading into this match, after a stunning late comeback against Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of the Conference League play-off.
Ajax scored twice in injury time to rescue a 2:2 draw, thanks to late goals scored by Van den Boomen and Steven Berghuis.
However, the Amsterdam-based club snapped their 12-match streak last weekend, when they lost to Heerenveen (2:3) in a 5-goal thriller match.
NEC Nijmegen, on the other hand, suffered a 2-0 defeat against RKC Waalwijk in their last Eredivisie game.
Like the hosts, NEC also ended their seven-match undefeated streak.
