LiontipsJong AZ - Jong Ajax. Prediction for the match of the Dutch championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Jong AZ Alkmaar performed well last season, finishing in tenth place in the table. The team was only behind eighth-placed Breda, who made it into the playoffs for promotion to the top division, on additional indicators. The team is currently only in 15th place, but is still ahead of the farm clubs of Ajax, PSV and Utrecht. In the last matches of 2024, the hosts managed to hold on to a draw in the confrontation with Emmen (1:1), and also beat a strong Cambuur away (2:0). Before that, the club had a series of three defeats in a row. During this period, Leroy Echteld charges lost to Jong PSV (1:2), Maastricht (2:3) and Volendam (0:2). In the first match of 2025, the hosts intend to prove that the crisis is over.

Kees Smith is out of the upcoming match due to injury, while Nick Twiske is questionable.

Current form
Jong Ajax has not been able to compete with teams with more experienced players this season. The Amsterdam club youth team is only in 16th place out of 20 teams, ahead of only Jong PSV, Venlo, Jong Utrecht and Vitesse, which was given a huge fine. However, the last matches have not been so bad for the visitors. At home, the talents of the Ajax academy managed to beat De Graafschap (2:0) and Roda (3:1), and away they beat their peers from Tottenham (5:1) in the Premier League International Cup. The only failure was the away defeat to Oss (1:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Benjamin Tahirovic, Tristan Guer and van Axel Dongen are all out with injuries.
Interesting trends for betting

1.86Tip and bets
In this matchup, we will give preference to the guests. The team has gained excellent form and beats even experienced opponents. Jong AZ wins away, but something always prevents them from winning at home. We do not think that the hosts will be able to break their losing streak in a match with the Amsterdammers, who have gained momentum.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Jong Ajax for 2.02
Bet on total
The visitors have finally managed to improve their attacking game and now they put on a real show in every match. The hosts are not going to sit back in defense either, so they will certainly be able to score. Most likely, the attack will prevail over the defense, and the fans will see a spectacular match.
Our prediction is total over 3.5 goals for 1.90
Bet on corners
In our opinion, the game should not be closed, so we will bet on them to play on the opposite courses and earn a lot of corners.
Our prediction is total over 10.5 corners for 2.03
