In the forecast, we assessed the prospects of each of the teams and selected the most reliable bets. Which choice will be successful?
Command Analysis
Fortuna Sittard
NetherlandsCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Fortuna was not considered a clear contender for a place in the top eight, the selection of players did not allow them to seriously count on a ticket to European competitions. However, in the first half of the season, Danny Bays' team looked more than decent and currently occupies the eighth place in the table with 26 points. However, the density in the table is very high, 15th Groningen has only two points less, so any mistake can lead to serious problems. Having drawn 2-2 with Heerenveen in the last round, Fortuna interrupted a series of three defeats in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
Branderhorst is injured.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last four matches, Fortuna has not won – three defeats and a draw.
- In the last 16 matches, Fortuna has not beaten Ajax - 13 defeats and three draws.
Approximate composition: Kopmans – Pinto, Adevoye, Gut, Dahlhaus – Van Ottele, Fosso, Michu, Halilovich, Peterson – Da Cruz.
Ajax
NetherlandsCurrent form
Ajax was among the contenders for the title before the start of the season, but it was not considered a favorite in the upcoming championship race, significantly inferior in the selection of PSV players. Francesco Farioli's team made several mistakes in the first round, but overall it looked quite decent and is currently in second place in the table with 48 points, only three points behind the PSV leader, who played two more matches. In the last round, Ajax beat Feyenoord 2-1, thus gaining their fifth consecutive victory in the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hato is disqualified. Godts, Regeer and Van Axel Dongen are injured.

2.09Tip and bets
Ajax will have to play against Union in the Europa League in a few days, but at the same time, today's match has much more value for the Amsterdammers – there is a real opportunity to break into the first place in the table in the near future. It is obvious that the guests will be as aggressive as possible ahead in an attempt to get a confident victory, and the Fortuna defense will certainly have serious problems – in the last three matches, the Sittards conceded 10 goals, today this statistic will clearly worsen, it makes sense to count on goals from the favorite.
We believe that the hosts will miss it. The forecast is that Ajax's individual total is more than two goals. This bet is offered with odds of 1.99
Betting on the outcome
Fortuna has not looked too confident lately – one point in four rounds is, to put it mildly, a very modest result, as the share of a contender for a place in the top eight. There are plenty of problems in the game of the Sittards and Ajax will obviously strive to turn them into a confident victory – the Amsterdammers have a real opportunity to overtake PSV and even bypass it in the near future in the table, the favorite in such a situation is unlikely to miss his chance.
The bet is an Asian handicap (-1) on Ajax. This bet is offered for 1.75
Betting on corners
Ajax is the favorite and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the visitors should win confidently from the corners.
The bet is an Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Ajax. This bet is offered for 1.61
