Feyenoord vs Ajax Predictions
- Both teams scored in four of the last seven H2Hs at this venue.
- Feyenoord are unbeaten in each of their last nine Eredivisie games.
- Ajax scored at least twice in nine of the last ten De Klassieker games.
The stakes are high in this De Klassieker encounter
The most anticipated fixture for many fans of the Eredivisie rolls around once again for it’s 199th edition in it’s 101st year of existence since the first ever clash in 1921! Both sides enter this clash with dreams of lifting the title, although it is Feyenoord who can extend their lead at the top with victory.Both sides look set to play their part in what could be a pivotal clash as far as the title race is concerned and neither will want to settle for a draw as that will suit PSV and AZ, each with considerably easier fixtures on paper this weekend. As such, I am expecting a full-blooded, end-to-end affair between two bitter rivals here.
It’s not only the bitter rivalry that makes these sides so difficult to split for the bookmakers, they both have top league scorers tied on eight goals high in the Eredivisie scoring charts. Watch out for Danilo of Feyenoord and Dusan Tadic of Ajax, the latter of which has two goals and an assist across his last three De Klassieker appearances.
Two titans look impossible to split
While Ajax have won in each of their last three visits to De Kuip, the hosts look to be the side to beat this time around, which suggests their outsider status must represent significant value.The hosts are one of only two remaining sides that are unbeaten at home heading into this round and while that record will come under threat, Feyenoord at this price cannot be ignored.
Given that both of these impressive outfits mirror each other in so many respects, backing both teams to score is often the smart play, although we’re boosting the odds further by backing Feyenoord in the win & BTTS market.
