Ajax will host AZ Alkmaar in the 11th round of the Dutch championship. Until recently, the guests were at the top of the table, but now they are only in fifth place. Will it be possible to impose competition on the favorite on October 31? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Ajax
Ajax is in second place in the Dutch championship standings, behind only Feyenoord, which came off by three points. In the championship, the hosts lost only to PSV (1:3) almost two months ago. Once again, the hosts lost in the Conference League, in a duel with Croatian Hajduk (1:2). After that, the Amsterdam team won three in a row. They managed to beat Groningen (5:2) and Sparta (2:1) in the championship, and Atalanta (2:0) in the Conference League.
AZ Alkmaar
AZ Alkmaar had a great start this season and even brought the winning streak to five matches, after which the club still lost points in the match against Willem II (1:1). Then the performance in the Europa League began, which is why fatigue is accumulating. Recently, the guests lost to Feyenoord (0:2) and Twente (0:2), and also drew with Cambur (2:2). The club has already dropped to fifth place in the table, but in the Europa League it managed to beat Hapoel Beersheba (2:1) and Ararat Armenia (4:0).
AZ has slowed down a lot lately, but it may well gather for a match with such a high-status opponent. In face-to-face meetings, the guests usually play quite well: Ajax's last victory dates back to 2022. In January, AZ generally beat the opponent with a score of 6:0, and a month later a draw was recorded. We suggest betting on the underdog with a plus handicap.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (+1) on AZ Alkmaar for 1.75
