Ajax Win and Over 1.5 Goals
Ajax have won six of their last ten fixtures in all competitions making them favorites to win this game by 60%. In addition, considering the goal stats of both teams, there is an 80% chance to see over 1.5 goals.
Both Teams to Score Yes
Four of the six games played by Utrecht and Ajax in the new season saw both teams score. Moreover, the last ten fixtures of both teams show a 55% possibility that we will see goals at both ends.
Correct Score Group Bet 1-2, 1-3, 1-4
Three times one of these scores was the final result between these two teams in their last 12 meetings. Additionally, Utrecht lost by the same scores six times last season while Ajax won four times.
Utrecht
After losing to Emmen in the previous round, Utrecht failed to find their first victory of the 2022/223 season. The Cupfighters have two points from their three outing in the Eredivisie and currently are at the 12th position.
Obviously, coach Henk Fraser’s team has a huge defensive problem as they let in five goals in three games. Last season, Utrecht conceded 1.35 goals per game and finished in the seventh position. However, losing points against low-tier clubs doesn’t look very promising ahead of hosting the champions.
Ajax
It was business as usual for the champions as Ajax already registered their third win in as many games. The offensive power of Ajax continues to dominate their games after they averaged 2.88 goals per game the last term.
In three games, Ajax have already passed that average, however, it’s not just Ajax’s offense that is their strength but on the defensive side, coach Alfred Schreuder’s team had an average of 0.56 goals conceded and they seem to keep that momentum going this season as well.
The bookies are paying 1.44 times in return for the stakes behind an Ajax win. We think that’s too low and we can increase that a notch by combining it with the total goals scored. Hence, we will back Ajax to win and over 1.5 goals scored.

In their first three matches, Ajax scored ten goals this season with an average of 3.30 goals per game. Playing on the road, Ajax’s average goals scored is two goals per game in their last seven trips. Thus, with odds of 1.66 at 22Bet, we will back Ajax to score over two goals.
Dusan Tadic has been playing with Ajax since 2018. The Serbian international played 130 games and scored 66 goals. The Ajax captain can play as a forward and attacking midfielder and is one of the most influential players on the Dutch side.
On Utrecht side, Zagre, Ramselaar, and St. Jago are all doubtful. While Van de Streek van der Hoorn and Hendricks are all injured.
Meanwhile, Ajax have no reported injuries or suspensions.
