Ajax and Nijmegen will play in the eighth round of the Dutch championship. The hosts complete the top five, and the guests are on the 11th line. Who will be able to score tournament points on October tenth? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Ajax
Ajax has not lived up to expectations so far this season. The club occupies only fifth place in the Eredivisie standings, but plans to fight for the championship. The club is five points behind the leaders of the championship, PSV and AZ. Before the international break, the Amsterdam club managed to win over Fortuna (5:1) and Willem II (5:1), but could not beat the modest Excelsior (2:2). The hosts will soon start the main stage of the Conference League.
NEC Nijmegen
Nijmegen had a great time last season and even participated in the Champions League qualifiers, but the current Eredivisie draw is going poorly for the guests. The recent matches were especially unsuccessful for the club. In away matches, NEK conceded five unanswered goals from Juventus (0:5) in the Europa League, and before that the club was defeated in the championship by Cambur (0:3). In the last round, the club drew with the Go Ahead Eagles (1-1).
After a successful season, Nijmegen once again found itself in the status of the middleweights and is unlikely to be able to impose competition on such an opponent as Ajax on the road. Recently, the guests have often suffered major defeats from strong opponents, and Ajax has often won major victories in recent matches. Most likely, there will be no sensation here.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1.5) for Ajax in 1.77
