Betting on Ajax
Ajax is once again going through a tough moment, as it arrives to this match after losing against PSV at home by a penalty shootout, the same opponent that defeated the team in the most recent domestic league match. That result placed the team in third place on the standings, three points behind second position, which would make it qualify for the Champions League.
That is why it is crucial for this team to get the three points from this new match, especially because it must take advantage of playing at home, where it has only lost two matches in the current league season.
Probable lineup (4-3-3):Geronimo Rulli; Jorge Sanchez, Edson Alvarez, Jurriën Timber, Youri Baas; Kenneth Taylor, Florian Grillitsch, Davy Klaassen; Steven Berghuis, Dusan Tadic, Steven Bergwijn.

Moreover, this team usually puts up a fight when playing away, and is ranked as the third-best team playing in this condition, recording 10 wins in 15 matches played so far.
Although it will face a really tough opponent, it has done quite well in recent matches against Ajax, remaining undefeated in the last two local championship matches.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Mathew Ryan; Yukinari Sugawara, Sam Beukema, Pantelis Hatzidiakos, Milos Kerkez; Tijjani Reijnders, Jordy Clasie; Jens Odgaard, Sven Mijnans, Djordje Mihailovic; Mexx Meerdink.
JefeBet Prediction
Two teams that are going through very different situations in the championship will face each other in this Ajax vs AZ Alkmaar match. On the one hand, Ajax must come to terms with the fact that it will not be able to win any trophies this season.

Considering the state of mind of both teams, it is expected that the visiting team will manage to put up a fight on this trip and get at least a point at the Johan Cruijff Arena.
Prediction: Asian Handicap for AZ Alkmaar (AJA 1-1 ALK).
